Uma proposta de ensino de funções usando a história da matemática como recurso pedagógico

Abstract

This work aims to propose activities using the History of Mathematics as a pedagogical resource for the teaching and learning of Functions, proposed content to be taught in Basic Education and which becomes the basis for the teaching of Di erential and Integral Calculus. We hope that the student, when approaching the knowledge of the History of Mathematics, understands that Mathematics is a science under construction, and thus has the condition to have a critical look at the processes of formalization of mathematical concepts and practices. The work was developed in the form of a bibliographical research, where we analyzed articles and dissertations of authors who speci ed their works in the teaching of functions, as well as original digitized works and made available on official websites. We work with the book by the author Tatiana Roque, Historia da Matematica - Uma visão crítica, desfazendo mitos e lendas, a useful tool for the research developed and reaching the proposed objective. We relate History of Mathematics and Function, with activities proposed for the classroom, in speci c to the ninth year of Basic Education of Basic Education.
