LEARNING OBJECTS FOR TEACHING REPETITIVE AND RECURSIVE SEQUENCES IN THE EARLY GRADES

Abstract

ABSTRACT : The present work presents a didactic proposal for the teaching of Numerical Sequences in the early years of Elementary School, using Learning Objects (OAs). The objective is to present the use of two Learning Objects that approach concepts of repetitive and recursive sequences, as a way to assist the planning of the mathematics teacher in the early years. The methodology of this work had a qualitative approach of the exploratory type, in which a mapping of some Learning Objects of the repository Digital Media for Mathematics (MDMat) of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS) was carried out, due to its free access by the academic community, as well as its possibility of reproduction by other researchers and teachers of Basic Education. This repository presents OAs with great potential to leverage students' algebraic thinking through the development of their logical and geometric reasoning. It is expected to contribute to teaching planning with regard to the construction of effective learning through the implementation of digital technologies in Mathematics Education. It is intended, posteriori, to investigate other types of OAs and carry out training aimed at teachers of the early years of Elementary School in the city of Fortaleza - CE, seeking to validate such resources as a didactic proposal.
