Methodological strategies for the teaching and learning of geometry, used by teachers in second cycle, in order to generate a methodological approach adequate to contents

Abstract

This qualitative research will answer the questions: What are the methodological strategies for the teaching and learning of geometry? and, What methodology can be created to teach the contents of geometry? The findings obtained show that teachers carry out activities for defining concepts and drawings to work the conceptual content, procedures are developed based on traditional teaching, exhibition classes, and explanation of exercises for further replication by students. All of them based on guides and texts of studies, demonstrating a lack of variety of concrete materials and fun activities. Some teachers declare not knowing Van Hiele model and so they do not used it in their practice, and those who point to know him, do not apply it entirely. After evidencing methodological absences, activities based on Van Hiele model are proposed, as well as the incorporation of concrete material and fun activities.
