A IMPORTÂNCIA DO LABORATÓRIO DE MATEMÁTICA NOS DIAS ATUAIS

Abstract

The article proposes the creation of a LEM (Mathematics Teaching Laboratory) in Municipal and State Public Institutions as well as in Private Institutions. The work describes some didactic and technological resources that are important in the Teaching and Learning process of Mathematics, mainly regarding the way of teaching nowadays. Such resources as educational math games and ICT's (Information and Communication Technologies) listed here, even in a minimal amount, serve as a parameter, to demonstrate how important they are for the teaching of mathematics and, which can only be stored, in a appropriate place like LEM. The school, however, says that the creation of a Laboratory is unnecessary because it already has an IT room. The truth is that the school is not interested in improving the process of teaching and learning in mathematics by students, but developing projects, which are never prepared by mathematics teachers, to be applied in classes, even without bringing gains in the student learning.
