Análise das dificuldades de aprendizagem dos alunos do 1º ano do ensino médio em números inteiros

Abstract

This work seeks to investigate and analyze the performance and difficulties of 1st year high school students in the proposed questions involving integers. Throughout this research, we will take a brief look at the history of mathematics and integers, where we will see how they emerged and their concepts. This research consists of an applied research of an exploratory and qualitative nature, where a test and a questionnaire were carried out, applied to 150 students from three public schools in Paraíba, to collect data. As a result of our survey, we identified that many students still experience difficulties with whole numbers and some do not feel interested or motivated to study mathematics. Therefore, it is interesting for teachers to review this content, as it is primary education content and a basis for others who follow it, and also invest in more dynamic and interactive classes to motivate students.
