Letramento estatístico por meio do trabalho com projetos à luz da educação matemática crítica

Abstract

The research aimed to analyze how Statistical Education has been approached in the 9th Year of Elementary School of a state public school in Feira de Santana - BA, with a view to the elaboration of a book about working with projects in the perspective of the development of Statistical Literacy in the light of Critical Mathematics Education. To support it, we rely on theoretical references on Statistical Literacy and on Critical Mathematics Education, particularly on the concepts of learning environments and project work. To produce the data, we conducted a semi-structured interview with Mathematics teachers from two 9th grade classes at the selected school, understanding what they think about Statistics. Then we analyze the Mathematics textbook used by these groups, identifying which activities can be used in a work with projects from the different types of learning environments. Thus, the product of this research emerged, which is a booklet bringing the main steps for the elaboration of a work with projects, containing suggestions of materials for this type of activity and involving the teaching of statistical concepts and sociopolitical themes, focusing on themes that are students' interest. We believe that developing work with projects from the perspective of Statistical Literacy can favor the protagonism of students in Mathematics classes and provide mastery of statistical content present in everyday life, as well as establishing social and political relationships in defense of a just society.
