Explorando polígonos: o ladrilhamento como ferramenta para compreender ângulos internos

Abstract

This work was developed with a contextualized proposal of the teaching of Geometry to students of the 8th grade of elementary school, whose objective was to allow students to manipulate models of polygons to observe their main characteristics, especially the internal angles, exploring the creation of tiles and expanding their geometric knowledge through a practical experience. To this end, the research was organized in two stages: the first addressed the theoretical teaching of geometry, its application in everyday life, the importance of contemporary teaching, the role of the teacher and the benefits of learning geometry. The second phase consisted of a detailed study of polygons and their components, with emphasis on internal angles, a theoretical review of tiling and fundamental geometric concepts, culminating in a practical class that complemented the theoretical discussions. It was observed that the students remained motivated and engaged throughout the work proposal, sharing knowledge and showing interest in deepening their studies on Geometry and Tiling.
