Material dourado construído a partir do caroço de açaí: possibilidades no ensino da geometria plana e espacial de alunos com deficiência visual

Abstract

The present work has as its theme the golden material constructed from the açaí seed: possibilities in the teaching of plane and spatial geometry for students with visual impairments. Geometry is a content that is of great importance and has application in various situations of our daily lives. The development of geometric thinking is a means that helps the individual to represent and interpret the world in which he lives. This work aims to analyze the use of golden material in the teaching of mathematics to students with visual impairments. The methodology adopted is a qualitative research and the didactic resource chosen by the authors refers to the use of golden material made from açaí seed. Over time, education, consequently, teaching practice and didactics has undergone numerous reflections and improvements, mathematical games have served as an auxiliary instrument in the hands of the teacher to attract and make classes more participatory. As for the problem, given the limitations presented by the students, is the methodological tool adopted efficient for the construction of the geometric knowledge of these students? In the search to answer this question, it is expected with this research, to propose a method of teaching and learning that is meaningful, inclusive and humanized in mathematics. By using the methodological resource adapted from açaí seed to work the geometry theme with the public characterized by visual impairment, it reduces the limitation of students and expands their learning capabilities, providing conditions for participatory insertion and socialization.
