Laboratório de ensino de matemática: uma ferramenta de auxílio para o processo de ensino de aprendizagem

Abstract

This work has as its theme the importance of the implementation of the mathematics teaching laboratory in educational institutions. The purpose of the research is to address the importance of the laboratory and the use of teaching materials as a teaching methodology, as well as showing its application in the classroom in higher education classes of the undergraduate course in mathematics and high school classes. For the development of the work a bibliographic research was performed to serve as a reference for the accomplishment of the activities. Classes were selected from Piauí State University and Barão de Gurguéia School Unit, located in Teresina-PI, where with the use of teaching materials it was possible to expose how the LEM could be used. After the activities in the higher education classes a questionnaire was applied with the students, their answers were evaluated and brought relevant positions on the theme, serving as analysis and guidance on the teaching of mathematics with a new methodology. As a main result, we realized that the Mathematics Teaching Laboratory proved to be a good alternative to the difficulties presented in the classroom, thus being indispensable for better teacher training and student results.
