Cálculo de áreas de regiões poligonais no plano: uma proposta de aplicação do uso da tecnologia como fator motivador

Abstract

This work arose from a personal bother of teaching practice when we work area calculation contents and we noticed a general lack of motivation among students. During Analytic Geometry discipline coursed in PROFMAT the idea to use the Gauss formula as an alternative to the calculation of areas and involving the use of technology, as a motivating tool in the learning of mathematics. In this paper we proposed a teaching practice to be developed in the classroom as a strategy to boost the interest of students in the classroom through the use of this interactive feature that helps ease the difficulties faced in learning, by combining the fostering of knowledge to the playful. Initially we worked the preliminary concepts of Cartesian plane, location points, reading geographical locations on the globe and then made a ”field school” in which we obtained the necessary points for the development of work. We use GPS equipment and technological means to obtain real values of the students day-to-day.
