Animes e mangás no ensino da matemática: animações e mangás japoneses, possibilidades didáticas para uma abordagem Matemática no 6º ano do ensino fundamental

Abstract

This work presents practices that were developed based on the project entitled “ANIMES AND MANGAS IN MATHEMATICS: Japanese animations and manga, didactic possibilities for a Mathematical approach”. The practical part of the project was approved by the Municipal Department of Education to be carried out at the Monsenhor Clovis Vidigal Municipal School in the municipality of Balsas-MA, in the 6th grade classes A and B in the afternoon. The practical implementation of this project aimed to evaluate the possibility of applying Japanese animations as a methodological tool in the teaching-learning process of Mathematics. For an understanding of the disposition of this project, three steps were established to better contemplate the objectives: Identify how anime and manga can be inserted in education; Demonstrate the possibilities of teaching Mathematics from anime and manga; Use anime and manga to work on ethical and moral values as a cross-cutting theme; Suggest the introduction of Japanese animations and manga as a strategy for teaching and learning Mathematics. The realization and application of the project was based on exploratory bibliographic research in the references that address the theme. And for a better understanding and theoretical and scientific support of the topic addressed, a quantitative-qualitative field research was carried out, in order to corroborate the theoretical assumptions addressed. As a project methodology, the researcher participated as a mediator in 12 classes, prioritizing the thematic unit numbers and geometry. At the end of the classes, a contextualized evaluation was applied in the anime and manga in order to collect data with the development of the students. The collected data were analyzed, tabulated and presented throughout the text, in order to reflect on the performance of anime and manga as a methodological tool in the process of teaching Mathematics and to propose its application in schools.
