A matematização da dança de salão: uma proposta didática

Abstract

Our research aims to propose a didactic planning, involving elements of ballroom dancing, to treat some mathematical concepts such that: Graphs Analysis, Arithmetic calculations and Geometric Concepts. For this, we weave a theoretical discussion about Ballroom Dancing and its contributions to education, followed by possible applications that can be done in the classroom. For the development of our goals, we launched in the qualitative research of exploratory nature, as to your goals and the type case study concerning his methods. For theoretical reinforcement of key terms of our research, we use 29 authors, in 35 tittles, dating from 1984 to 2014, including Caminada (1999), Falcão and Melo (2010) and Marques (2007). Our contribution to the scientific scene is the literary raising potential of ballroom dancing to the school environment, as well as possible maths reflections for the teacher to apply in their classes, aiming positive results your student demand, based on theoretical we call research. As future research suggestions are guided to apply our teaching sequence with proof of the purpose of their effectiveness and likely points where it can be resized.
