Origami : um recurso paradidático para o ensino de triângulos para alunos do 7° ano do Ensino Fundamental

Abstract

techniques and methods to frame existence around it, and it plays a vital role in scientific and cultural progress. The challenges in the teaching and learning of geometry make this work the driving force. Therefore, using origami, the art of folding paper, can effectively teach geometry because it is an easy-to-handle tool, and from that, this work aims to develop a new way of seeing and learning geometry, in the seventh year of elementary school, and in this particular case the study of triangles. Origami as a paradidactic resource, is an important ally in teaching and learning, as it inspires spatial and geometric views of objects, provides an environment to reflect on current approaches in geometry teaching, promotes better student learning and makes teaching more pleasant and significant. What's more, the resource only requires simple and accessible materials, virtually any piece of paper can be used, so it frees students from using rulers and compasses and is still an engaging, fun and creative approach. This work aims to present a paradidactic way of teaching geometry through origami, in addition, this will be compared when using GeoGebra software for teaching and learning the same content. Using origami, students have the possibility to develop interest and development in geometric concepts in a practical way, and be responsible agents for building their knowledge through folding, drawing, visualization, comparison, development of imagination and creativity and skills. required by the BNCC.
