Resumo: Este trabalho tem por objetivo apresentar o relato e as reflexões referentes a uma experiência vivenciada com alunos do 2º ano do Ensino Médio, no desenvolvimento de atividades para o ensino- aprendizagem do conteúdo Matriz. A Resolução de Problemas, conforme Onuchic e Allevato (2011), Onuchic e Allevato (2004), Onuchic (1999), foi a metodologia de ensino-aprendizagem adotada. A elaboração e a implementação ocorreram no contexto de duas disciplinas do curso de licenciatura em Matemática da Universidade Estadual do Oeste do Paraná (Unioeste). Como principal resultado da prática realizada destacamos a participação e o envolvimento dos estudantes na relização das atividades propostas, bem como a oportunidade dos professores em formação experenciarem e refletirem sobre a realização de atividades em sala de aula, por meio da Resolução de Problemas.Palavras-chave: Resolução de problemas; Matrizes; Educação Matemática; Ensino Médio. An approach of matrices in the perspective of problem solvingAbstract: This paper aims to present a report and the reflections related to an experience with students of the 2nd year of High School, in the development of activities for the teaching-learning about Matrix concepts. Problem Solving, according to Onuchic and Allevato (2011), Onuchic and Allevato (2004), Onuchic (1999), was the teaching-learning methodology adopted. The elaboration and implementation became of in the context of two subjects of the Mathematics Degree Course in the State University of Western Paraná (Unioeste). As a main result of the practice we highlight the participation and involvement of students in the realization of the proposed activities, as well as the opportunity for teachers in formation to experience and reflect about the aplication of activities in the classroom, through Problem Solving.Keywords: Problem solving; Matrices; Mathematics Education; High School.

Abstract: The aim of this study was to investigation of the prospective science teachers' views on the problems (as are the waste of natural resources, the information pollution, sharing information without confirming their validity of information, communication problems among people, spending extra time and money, the laziness, the obesity, the environmental pollution, the global warming etc.) and solutions regarding science and technology. Research method of this study was case study method. The four second year prospective science teachers attending education faculty of a state university were participated to this study. The data tools of this research were used questions in focus group interviews. The data obtained from the focus group interviews were analyzed using content analysis method. According to the results obtained from this study, prospective science teachers were expressing many problems within the framework of individual, social and environmental on science and technology sourced problems. Considering the results obtained from this study, it can be said that the solutions suggested by the prospective science teachers to solve the science and technology sourced problems are limited and can be improved.

Irrational numbers are present in our everyday life but their exact values cannot be given in a form that students easily understand. Therefore in this paper we show geometrical constructions and calculations in which non-rational numbers naturally arise and gain meaning. We look at numbers which are expressible with at maximum two roots and are present in the Hungarian curriculum. For each number we present how they appear in Hungarian textbooks, and show multiple problems and solutions in which they arise. These solutions differ in their level of mathematical complexity, from elementary geometry to higher algebra. Introducing these solutions to students, shows them, that the different areas of mathematics are interrelated. This approach may inspire students to use their mathematical knowledge not only from the area in which the problem was presented.
