Abstract

SILVA, Maria Célia Leme da. Que geometria moderna para as escolas do Brasil e de Portugal?. Rev. Diálogo Educ. [online]. 2008, vol.08, n.25, pp.689-699. ISSN 1981-416X.

In this paper, we present partial results from a major research, which aims investigating Brazilian and Portuguese’s Geometry teaching trajectory, during Modern Mathematics Movement(MMM), and realising a historic-comparative study. We discuss the first didactical productions, in a modern approach, for Geometry teaching in High School’s last years (16-17 year-old).We have analysed Brazilian textbook from Benedito Castrucci and Portuguese production from Sebastião e Silva. We consider that comprehending Geometry teaching during Brazilian MMM, if compared to a Portuguese similar investigation, can be very interesting: Brazilian options and understandings acquire new meanings, if we establish comparisons with Portuguese reality.

Keywords : Geometry Teaching; Modern Mathematics Movement; Mathematics Education History.
