O princípio de Cavalieri no ensino médio: uma abordagem didática alternativa para o estudo de volumes

Abstract

The present work proposes an approach to teaching volumes in high school, highlighting the use of Cavalieri's Principle as an important educational tool. The main objective is to analyze the feasibility and effectiveness of this alternative procedure in comparison with traditional volume calculation methods. This research is a bibliographic and documentary research that is divided into three distinct stages. Initially, a theoretical review is conducted, exploring the existing literature on Cavalieri's Principle and its applicability in the educational context. text production. Studies by various authors such as Pontes (2014), Tose (2017) among others will be used. The problem addressed in this study aims to find solutions to real challenges in Mathematics teaching, with the potential to improve the quality of education and promote a deeper understanding of mathematical concepts. This not only enriches the academic and scientific sphere, but also has the potential to transform the educational experience based on textbook analyses. The results obtained in this research will contribute to a deeper understanding of the effectiveness of Cavalieri's Principle as a teaching tool. Furthermore, it will be an important knowledge base that presents some theoretical reflections related to how to make teaching volumes more understandable and engaging for students.
