O uso das Tecnologias da Informação e Comunicação (TICs) no ensino de geometria

Abstract

Information and Communication Technologies - ICTs, are a set of technological resources that favor communication. The present research had as general objective to investigate the way in which the ICTs can be inserted in the teaching of Mathematics, in particular the teaching methodologies focused on the teaching and learning of Geometry. More specifically, it sought to understand the new technologies used in teaching Mathematics; knowing the possibilities of building mathematical knowledge through technologies; and point out the possibilities of teaching Geometry through ICTs. The methodology used is a literature review of a bibliographical nature, having as its main source the search for materials already published on the internet on the subject, in addition to data collection through books, monographs, theses, dissertations, articles by newspapers and magazines. The research found that geometry requires the adoption of a differentiated pedagogical practice, and the use of technologies in the classroom enables the integration of geometric concepts to a more concrete and dynamic work. It follows then that some of these possibilities are educational software, which are defined as a set of computer resources designed with the intention of being used in a teaching and learning context.
