Abstract

This paper will present an educational activity developed in two classes in the ninth year of Pedro Ivo Campos Elementary School located in the city of Joinville/SC involving geometry content with a focus on accessibility in schools. The activity was developed through the project "Inclusive Transit at School" where the mathematical content was introduced using the project methodology at the school where the students were initially made aware of the topic of accessibility and then asked to build scale models of the school providing ramps for disabled people according to legal accessibility standards.
