ResumoNa educação básica, as primeiras noções sobre o plano cartesiano iniciam com a identificação dos eixos coordenados e com a compreensão de que estes dividem o plano em quatro regiões chamadas de quadrantes. Esse entendimento se estende com a compreensão das noções relativas à posição, localização de figuras e deslocamentos no plano cartesiano....

Although there exists a positive discourse potential concerning digital resources for teaching, its implementation in teaching practices has shown to be ineffective. The objective behind this present study was to identify the difficulties faced by teachers in the adoption of information technology into teaching practices. The study was performed us...

Há muitas dúvidas quanto ao uso de recursos digitais no ensino de matemática. É preciso escolher o software adequado aos conteúdos e aos propósitos de ensino. O objetivo foi elaborar estratégias didático-metodológicas para o uso de software gratuitos no ensino de Matemática (6º ao 9º ano), assim como validá-las. As estratégias foram elaboradas conj...

Due to the constant technological advance, it is necessary to reflect about the conditions that the schools find for the inclusion of these resources in teaching practices, particularly in relation to the teaching of Mathematics. The objective of this work was to verify the infrastructure of computer labs in public schools and the technical feasibi...

Educational software has significantly changed how mathematics is taught and learned. One challenge for educators is choosing the most appropriate software among numerous options. Therefore, we mapped free mathematics education software according to number and operation content. The study was carried out with public elementary school teachers (grad...

The use of educational software as a teaching resource is becoming more common. However, teachers still need to choose which software best meets needs of their students. The goal of this study was to map free educational software regarding space and shape content for mathematics education. The study was conducted with public elementary teachers (gr...

Educational software has significantly changed how mathematics is taught and learned. One of the challenges educators face is choosing software that best meets their teaching goals. Therefore, we mapped free educational software regarding quantities and measures content for mathematics education. The study was conducted with teachers at public midd...

Numerous educational software packages are available and many of these are based on constructivist principles. These principles encourage the construction of knowledge through exploration and physical, logical/mathematical and social experiences. However, it is difficult to develop activities that allow observation of subject behavior as logical/ma...

Computers have been gaining ground in the classroom as educational tools. Mathematics is a discipline that sometimes requires students to assimilate abstract theories. Thus, it is necessary to create an environment that fosters closer relationships between content and the daily realities of students’ lives. Educational software can contribute favor...

The objective of this study was to conduct a survey on teaching practices employing concrete materials used by mathematics educators. The study was carried out at eleven middle schools affiliated with Brazilian public universities. Data was collected by means of electronic questionnaires. Twenty nine concrete materials are used by Brazilian teacher...

Educators seek alternative ways to make mathematics education more meaningful. The objective of this study was to conduct a survey on teaching practices employing educational software and software assessment methodologies used by mathematics educators at some of the best schools in Brazil. The study was carried out at eleven middle schools with tie...

Knowledge building results from exploration of and experiences with ones environment. According to Piaget, experiences can be physical, logical-mathematical and social. Of these, experiences that develop logical-mathematical knowledge are the most difficult to detect in computational tools for both distance and classroom education. In constructivis...

There are a variety of computational tools for educationand many have been designed using the constructivist paradigm. In constructivist principles, learning is a process in which individuals construct knowledge. This knowledge construction comes from exploration and experience with the learner's environment. For Piaget, these experiences are physi...

In constructivist principles, learning is a process in which individuals construct knowledge. Research in Mathematics Education looks for ways to make mathematics education less dry and more attractive. When solving polynomial equations of the first degree, it is very common for teachers to work with the mistaken idea of “changing the sign” when “m...

For those involved in education the search for practical ways of involving students and educators more fully into the processes of educating, is a constant challenge, mainly when it comes to those subjects considered to be of difficult content. It is therefore within this context that computer technologies have brought about pedagogical apparatus b...
