MATLAB software in teaching-learning mathematics in the 8th grade of the fundamental: An analytical and geometric analysis in the teaching of algebraic expressions and systems of equations of the first degree

Abstract

This article presents the use of a computational tool for algebraic and geometric analysis of some skills addressed in the teaching of mathematics in the last years of elementary 2, which developed a differentiated learning from technology as facilitating the absorption of mathematical content that have a degree of difficulty in their analytical resolutions and, in turn, the absence of representations and geometric interpretations of the proposed problems. The research proposal aims to develop support tools and support mathematics education through the construction of virtual learning objects with MATLAB software, which is a teaching resource for computational dynamic analysis, available to users with the ability to perform simulations in two and three dimensions. As literature to address the content, concepts were, used and the definitions contained in Claudio Marques and Enio Silveira (2013). Analyzing the real need for meaningful learning, with the help of these features that facilitate learning, we find and diagnose the use of mathematical software with geometric approaches, enable well profitably teaching of algebraic expressions and the development and analysis in solving linear systems of 1st degree with an analytical and geometric treatment of the problem, in a way, came to promote and encourage the study of mathematics as a whole, by promoting research in the final grades of elementary school. The results show that in mathematics, we need alternatives and appropriate teaching tools to assist in understanding and understanding of the student.
