Robótica Educacional e o ensino de Matemática
Technologies are key alternative resources in the classroom. In relation to the teaching of mathematics, educational robotics can contribute to the development of learning and skills, where the use of technologies in education – as an important resource in educational development – proves to be increasingly permanent and present in our teaching environments. This book brings discussions and reflections on a teaching experiment, based on the use of robotics for the teaching of mathematics, showing the importance of technologies and their contribution to Education. The development of this proposal was organized according to a set of activities, through experiments in educational robotics, carried out in the computer lab of a municipal school, with students from the 7th year of elementary school, in the city of Santarém, state of Pará. The results obtained showed that the development of knowledge in technological areas encourages students to learn and collaborates for their interest, providing moments of significant learning within the discipline of Mathematics. As a result, the use of educational robotics in pedagogical practice resulted in participation, development of critical thinking and student learning, as well as contributing to the debate, involving discussions about interdisciplinarity between different areas of knowledge, such as education, mathematics and informatics.
