Interpretando as situações do cotidiano do campo através da matemática: estudo realizado em uma escola do campo e uma escola urbana

Abstract

This work aims to check the efficiency in the use of study aid material addressing objects and information from the student’s daily life in the reinforcement of mathematics teaching. The work brings a brief review from the use of games and playful activities as a teaching / learning method of mathematics. The developed activity came up from a workshop elaborated through resolutions from mathematical problems that involves everyday situations of the field. The activity was carried out with students from the 6th grade of the José Alves dos Santos State School, located in the rural area of the municipality of Rio Bonito do Iguaçu (PR) and at the José Marcondes Sobrinho State College located in the municipality of Laranjeiras do Sul (PR). The verification of the learning went through the application of a questionnaire with open questions before and after the application of the activity. As a result, it was verified that the students got motivated by the workshop, explaining how it was easier to learn, and were able to relate the contents of mathematics to their everyday situations.
