Abstract The aim is to assess contribution provided by soroban – or Japanese abacus – not only for the students’ learning of number and operations content, but also in the development of their higher psychological functions. As an applied nature, it was developed under a pedagogical intervention for data collection and analysis. The eight participa...
The extension is an essential academic practice in universities, associated with teaching and research. In initial or continuing teacher education courses the extension actions may promote the integration of theory and practice, approaching the University to the Basic Education. In this article we present and discuss the dynamics of developing an e...
The following article is a piece of a Master’s research, in which investigates the teaching and learning of arithmetic progression in a learning environment through problem solving. The participants were students from the first year of high school at a private school in Santa Maria / RS. The data collect was developed in eight meetings and used the...
The article aims to analyze the knowledge of newly graduated teachers of Mathematics Degree courses on Mathematics teaching via problem solving. The participants were 10 newly trained teachers from three public universities in the state of Paraná, who answered an online questionnaire. The results showed that, in general, the participants have adequ...
Researchers in Mathematics Education have pointed out the importance of including History of Mathematics (HM) classes in Basic Education. However, some studies indicate that HM has not been widely implemented by teachers at this stage of education. One of the reasons for this may be a teachers' general lack of knowledge surrounding HM, of the speci...
This paper deals with an investigation where early stages of Didactic Engineering (DE) are used in the design of a digital resource involving probability content, generating a pedagogical resource. The objective of the research was to conceive a Learning Object as a support for probability teaching. Taking Didactic Engineering as a research methodo...
This study, bound to the research line of “Practices and Formative Processes in Education” of the Post-Graduation Program in Education of FCT/UNESP, reports the results of a research which aims analyzing the comprehension that Mathematics teachers have about the Problem Solving as a teaching methodology, how they became aware of this methodological...

This article investigates the development levels of the Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge - TPACK of Mathematics teachers - Mathematics TPACK. Data collection covers two stages: i) questionnaires answered by fifteen Mathematics teachers of Basic Education; ii) focus group performed with five other Mathematics teachers in the context of th...
In this work we present proposals of activities to approach the Euler number in High School, since there are many daily situations in which the only way to describe them conveniently by means of mathematical models is to use the exponential function with the base being the Euler number. For example, radioactive decay, Newton's law of cooling, the s...
