A importância da demonstração matemática nos últimos anos do ensino fundamental

Abstract

This scientific work approaches in a systemic way the importance of the mathematical demonstration or proof applied in the teaching method in the modality of fundamental education. As a specific objective, the teaching of demonstration in elementary school is reported, as it can be applied in the classroom by adapting the students' resources for the necessary teaching. As a bibliographical reference, an extensive exploration of the scientific literature about the teaching of demonstration was used. As a conclusion, including mathematical demonstration in elementary education becomes a challenge since there is a structural deficiency in mathematics teaching, including in higher education, to make teachers able to explain and make it easier to understand mathematical proof, according to with the abstract search and knowledge concerning the student.
