Abstract

This search, it is a qualitative research that makes use of a review literature, to address the issue of function. Its content gives a memorial speech on the profile of the author, the contribution of an internship experience on methods of using materials in teaching quadratic function, is an historical approach on the concept of function and a supposed origin of the parabola, and the contribution of curricular parameters for the teaching function and a range of issues dealing with various topics like sports, health, education in traffic and others. Our research aims to provide a general range of discursive approaches, discussions or conduct likely to be developed by the same teacher as for the content of teaching duties. To achieve this goal it was necessary to report our experience in a curse “Estágio Supervisionado IV” addressing function in High School to present historical data and research syntheses that address the content of functions, suggest questions for teaching functions, suggesting dialogue between the teacher and the class relating to the conduct there must be life beyond the walls of the classroom. With this work we give a broader meaning in teaching methods and function with proposals which address not only the content but also the contribution of mathematics in student life in the formation of citizenship.
