Do plano ao espaço: uma sequência didática para o ensino de geometria espacial no ensino médio integrado

Abstract

Traditionally, the teaching of spatial geometry is centered on formulas and repetitions of procedures, often without stimulating students' visual skills or understanding of practical applications in everyday life. Thus, the central objective of this work is to verify the learning about topics of spatial geometry and its elements, through the use of concrete materials with the creation of three-dimensional models by technical high school students at Centro Territorial de Educação Profissional do Médio Sudoeste da Bahia – Itororó-BA (CETEP-Itororó-BA). This is an experience report, with participant observation and a qualitative approach. The results indicated that the use of different methodologies contributes to a collaborative, participatory, stimulating, and enjoyable educational process. Furthermore, it helps in the construction of knowledge that makes sense to the students, especially because it opens the possibility for the development of critical thinking.
