Investigations and explorations in the mathematics classroom

Abstract: Abstract. In Portugal, since the beginning of the 1990s, problem solving became increasingly identified with mathematical explorations and investigations. A number of research studies have been conducted, focusing on students' learning, teachers' classroom practices and teacher education. Currently this line of work involves studies from primary school to university mathematics. This perspective impacted the mathematics curriculum documents that explicitly recommend teachers to propose mathematics investigatio… Show more

“…In the last two decades, the mathematics education community has strongly emphasized the importance of investigation-based learning environments (Da Ponte 2007 ;Yerushalmy 2009 ). Yerushalmy ( 2009 ) argued that the objectives of any curriculum include encouraging the personal growth and development of individuals, preparing people for work, and transmitting the culture from one generation to the next (Schwartz 1999 ).…”

“…As conjeturas ficam, frequentemente, por validar, tal como, de resto, se tem verificado em estudos anteriores (PONTE, 2007) e, por isso, nem sempre estão corretas. Quando os alunos testam as suas conjeturas, recorrem à experimentação de casos ou comparam resultados obtidos a partir de representações diferentes daquelas que usaram na sua formulação (por exemplo, tabelas e gráficos).…”

“…Os alunos usam essencialmente processos indutivos, como observação de casos particulares, analogia e generalização para formularem as suas primeiras conjeturas. De um modo geral, não sentem necessidade de justifi car as conjeturas, tal como, de resto, se tem verifi cado em trabalhos anteriores (PONTE, 2007). Assim, Luís tem tendência para generalizar de imediato as suas conjeturas e não sente a necessidade de as testar ou justifi car e, tal como Duarte, quando é solicitado a fazê-lo, experimenta casos particulares como processo de validação (como indicado por KIERAN, 2007).…”
