Estudo das propriedades dos polígonos regulares usando a técnica de ladrilhamento nos anos finais do ensino fundamenta

Abstract

This research presents a proposal for an activity carried out in a full-time ninth-grade class. The main objective of this work is to show that the technique of plane tiling, using only regular polygons, can enable the study of the characteristics and properties of this object of knowledge in a more meaningful way in Mathematics classes. To achieve this objective, a bibliographic survey of more recent articles, books and dissertations was initially carried out that discussed the problems of teaching Geometry in schools, the importance of Active Methodologies and Digital Information and Communication Technologies in the process of teaching and learning Mathematics. In addition, the most important concepts related to the content of polygons and the tiling technique were presented, which are fundamental for understanding the proposed activity. With a qualitative approach, the methodology was divided into four stages: expository class, organization, construction and presentation. The results obtained showed a more active and motivating participation on the part of the students, which consequently allowed the teaching and learning of Geometry to occur in a meaningful way, enabling students to be the central subjects in the process of knowledge construction.
