Uma abordagem geométrica para operações básicas dos polinômios de 1º, 2º e 3º graus. 2021. 87f.

For this, we will make a relation with areas and volumes of geometric figures, in particular - for their practicality, because we will deal with Basic Education - the rectangle and the right rectangular prism. We discuss the algebraic definitions and propositions of polynomials, as well as the definitions of areas of rectangles and volumes of parallelepipeds, and then correlate both approaches.In addition, we have included a suggestion for a ludic activity to be applied in an 8th grade class of elementary school, so that it demonstrates the efficiency of using geometry in teaching polynomials in the classroom, I.e, that through geometry, the 8th graders students understand them and know how to operate them.Acesso AbertoMatemáticaPolinômiosGeometriaEnsino da matemáticaJogosmasterThesis
