Matemática na educação de jovens e adultos: significados de frações no ciclo III

Abstract

The present monographic work is a qualitative research that has the general objective to understand the level of learning of fraction of students of cycle III of Youth and Adult Education at Escola Municipal de Ensino Fundamental Luiz Barbosa, Araçagi-PB in remote teaching. The investigation was inspired by the works of Menezes and Moraes (2015) and Júnior (2017), being carried out with the students based on the perception of problems in relation to the knowledge of fractions. The research methodology is characterized by a case study, initially, a survey of studies that discuss the content of fractions was carried out, in the month of May this year a diagnostic test was applied, then didactic sequences involving the senses were experienced. The research was carried out in three stages: to perceive the difficulties, to elaborate a didactic sequence on fractions and to carry out the prognostic test through a work integrated to their social and cultural context, carried out in August, where the results obtained showed that the students presented better performance in learning, understood the meanings part-whole, multiplicative operator, quotient/number and fraction as a ratio studied over fractions and 100% of the students managed to properly solve the problem situations presented in the prognostic test. They presented positive results with lear ning in fractions and evolution in learning with the comparison of the results of Q1 to Q2 that corroborate with our reading, which defend the need to bring the didactic contents closer to the lived reality, in order to produce a significant mathematical k nowledge.
