Os registros de estudantes do 1º ano do ensino fundamental nas aulas de matemática: um olhar para o processo de letramento e alfabetização matemática

Abstract

This monograph had as general objective to analyze the records produced by students of a class of the 1st year of Elementary School during a school year. The work presents as theoretical support the discussions about the Literacy Cycle in official documents and in the Mathematical perspective. We also discuss the role of registering students in Mathematics classes, teacher training for learning Mathematics, as well as textbooks and Mathematics Teaching. And, finally, the thematic units for Mathematics teaching in the Literacy Cycle. The main authors who supported the research were Curi (2005), Souza (2010), Maya and Maranhão (2015), Nacarato (2013), among others. In the methodological procedures, qualitative research was adopted, in which we used a semi-structured interview with a teacher who worked in the 1st year of Elementary School and the records produced by her students (in books and notebooks). To analyze the collected data, content analysis was used (MORAES, 1999) so that the analysis was structured into two broad categories: “The role of records for the teacher” and “The role of records for students''. The results of this research show that the teaching of mathematics in the literacy and literacy process in a 1st year class of elementary school is far from what is foreseen in the official documents, since it was evident that the demand for literacy in the Mother Language was predominant when compared the mathematical literacy of this class. There were few math classes during the school year and they were essentially concentrated on the use of the textbook. However, not all thematic units in the book were experienced by the students and the reduced use of the notebook with traditional activities focused on numerical sequence reveals the gaps left in this process of mathematical literacy. To improve this scenario, investment in specific teacher training for teachers who work in the literacy cycle is essential.
