Processo de aprendizagem na compreensão do cálculo algébrico no ensino fundamental

Abstract

This work aims to make known some of the great mathematician precursors who have developed a line of reasoning in the study of algebraic calculation. To this end, we decided to treat the evolution of this branch of knowledge starting from its most primitive form until it get to the most complex level of abstraction currently used. We will understand the role of six major algebraists: Aristotle, Euclid, Stifel, Cardano, Bombelli and Viète. We also highlight the relevance of Parâmetros Curriculares Nacionais (PCNs) represent in Mathematic sin Primary Education as to analyze the difficulties of the students to solve problems; it should be emphasized the four Zalman Usiskin’s algebraic concepts, these procedures are essential in algebraic education. We also chose, the provision of some demonstrations and applications that enables us to understand that Algebra is a rather wide field in the contents seen in the disciplines of Degree in Mathematics of Higher Education as well as by Dimensional Analysis in Physics. In question, we will place the algebraic calculation as an area of great activity in mathematical research as we are articulating valuable information forfurther development of later times.
