Ler, escrever e comunicar em matemática: habilidades requeridas para interpretar e compreender o texto

Abstract

This article is part of the dissertation of the first author under the guidance of the second author who aims to investigate how the student interprets and understands the set of mathematical problems, and communicate their resolutions to the members of the interaction. Reading becomes a process to better understand the student as well as express the mathematical language. In the present study, two meetings were held. In a first meeting each participant individually solve division problems. Already a secondparticipants who solved individually were placed in pairs to solve division problems. Both the first and the second meeting were filmed and later transcribed and analyzed. The results showed that when the subjects have the ability to communicate in writing to the other of the interaction, they start to reframe their views, conjecturing new reading processes. This research also contributes to the communicative exchanges favoring the coordination of problem solving strategies used by students. We emphasize reading as an activity essential to interpret and understand the text and its interpreter.
