Adquirir fluência e pensar matemática com tecnologias: uma abordagem com o superLogo

Abstract

This paper describes an investigation into the use of software SuperLogo by a group of teachers of basic education in public schools of the State of São Paulo, specifically in order to understand how these teachers in activity on mathematical problems, acquire fluency in the use of interface, think math questions from the use of digital technology as well as develop / explore mathematical topics from the perspective of computational artifact. The theoretical framework of the study had by reference the Theory of Didactical Situations, the humans-with-media construct and cycle theory (use of technologies for teaching and learning mathematics). The research had qualitative approach, and analyzes were carried out from the point of view of content analysis, employing four sessions, held in a computer lab at a public school, and having by instruments for data collecting informal interviews, a questionnaire, a sequence of activities supported by non-digital technology (pencil and paper) and a didactical sequence built with problems that should be solved with the SuperLogo software. The results indicate that teachers could expand connections between mathematical knowledge available to them and the development of fluency in relation to the interface, and began to express thoughts that indicated the connection of their knowledge with the use of software, which led them to considerate the use of such resources with their student groups in the development of mathematical topics
