O estudo dos frisos no ambiente informatizado Cabri-Géomètre

Abstract

This research intends to develop an approaching about some geometrical transformations in the Euclidean plane beginning with the frieze patterns in an artistic dimension. The goal was to verify in which measure the use of Dynamic Geometry Software Cabri Géomètre II contributed to articulate and give meaning to the concepts of translations, reflection and rotation. The Tool-Object Dialetic, in accordance with Régine Douady, were used on the activities development. The methodology followed some steps in the Didactical Engineering. The subjects were the high school students in a public school in the city of Santos. We concluded from the students productions that the introduction of the frieze patterns in the didactical sequence helped the articulation among the different geometrical transformation contributing to a high quality step forward in the purpose shown in relation to the mainly concepts of them.
