Uma abordagem didática diferenciada para o teorema de Pitágoras

Abstract

This study shows a new methodology for the teaching of the Pythagorean theorem, using various resources and media. In this respect, the aim of this study is to verify that this new methodology promotes a better understanding of this Theorem for students. To this end, we opted for an experimental study which involved 22 students from ninth grade school IT CMES RISING PROJECT, located in 1998 in the city of Fortaleza. These were selected and randomly divided equally into two groups (experimental and control). The instruments for data collection were: the differentiated classroom with concrete material and media use, socio-economic survey and test consisting of questions of the Pythagorean Theorem applications. The data were analysed using Microsoft Excel. The results point to a superior performance of the group that obtained differentiated classroom (experimental) in relation to that received traditional classroom (control).
