Uma proposta para o ensino de trigonometria a partir do uso de quadrinhos como recurso didático

Abstract

Mathematics teachers, throughout their training and performance, have difficulties in working on trigonometry content therefore there is a need to use didactic resources that facilitate teaching, enable teacher-student interactions and make the class interesting and motivating. As such, the research aimed to point out ways for teaching trigonometry through the educational product based on comics for teaching trigonometry. We use a bibliographic study as a basis for the construction of our theoretical discussion and the elaboration of our learning object. A comic called “The Adventures of Dreamer in the Trigonometric World” was created. The comics, which were made by hand free, are based on trigonometric subjects relating the use of this knowledge to the applicability in daily life. From the comics, didactic sequences were developed that explain to the teacher how they can use this didactic resource in the classroom. Two didactic sequences were made: Triangle Rectangle Trigonometry and Circumference Trigonometry with eight activities in each sequence. Thus, we identified the authors references of teaching with comics that it is possible different methodologies for learning trigonometry. In conclusion, this material has didactic potentials that help the mathematics teacher to increment his didactic practice with situations that clarify questions, bring curiosities, making the classes even more dynamic and the participative, critical and reflective students in the classes, socializing their findings and understanding the application and problem solving through the mobilization of trigonometric knowledge through the activities triggered by the comics.
