Interdisciplinaridade e Matemática: utilização de hortas para o desenvolvimento educacional de turmas de jovens e adultos

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the school garden as a pedagogical instrument for teaching mathematics. The study was conducted in a school in the city of Rio de Janeiro, focusing on teaching mathematical content related to the metric system, area and volume. In developing the work, a historical analysis was carried out, addressing both the legal guidelines on teaching these contents and the practical application of teaching by the teacher. To carry out the research, a didactic sequence based on investigative methodology was formulated. The study sought to examine the construction of school gardens in the context of teaching and learning mathematics in a school in the city of Rio de Janeiro, promoting the contextualization of students' knowledge. This process also aimed at improving the quality of teaching-learning, enabling the student, in collaboration with the teacher, to become emancipated in the search for significant knowledge. In this way, school gardens prove to be pedagogical instruments capable of promoting different teaching possibilities, contributing to learning through innovative practices that spark student interest in the search for knowledge.
