Interdisciplinaridade no ensino da matemática contribuições à aprendizagem de função no 9°ano

Abstract

This work presents the results obtained in the research developed in 9° grade class in "São José" state school, in the city of Tefé. This study aims to understand the contributions of Interdisciplinarity in the learning of Mathematical Functions. For this purpose, carried out fourteen activities, two using the traditional teaching methodology, and eight the interdisciplinary proposal. In this proposal, we linked Mathematics with Geography through the study of the Migrations in Brazil, in order to study the content "Introduction to the study of Function: Location of points in the Cartesian Plane". In the methodology, we applied the qualitative research in the research-action modality. In the technique, and the instruments of data collection, we used participant observation, previous test, and a after test, and the records of the students. The results present that through interdisciplinary practices, the students present larger interest on the Mathematics classes, increase the participation of the students, and also, increase the ability to transfer knowledge, because they provide sense to what is taught. Keywords: Elementary school. Learning Mathematics. Interdisciplinarity.
