Exploring the solid workshops
Abstract
This paper presents the experience report on the spatial geometry approach carried out along the Normal Course of a public school in São Gonçalo / RJ. In general, the teaching of spatial geometry is focused exclusively on formulas and repetition of mechanisms without awakening the student's visual ability, as well as understanding and being disconnected from applications in everyday life and in other sciences. In order to enhance learning, we seek to articulate the history of geometry, playfulness and concrete material, allowing a better visualization of the elements and their relations, and consequently, an abstraction. The main objective was to make the participants rethink and adapt the experiences they went through, in their future classes, since the proposed workshops offer both simplicity and low cost.
