SCREMIN, Greice and RIGHI, Flávia Pereira. The Teaching of Algebra in basic education: a historical review from PCN to BNCC. Ensino em Re-Vista [online]. 2020, vol.27, n.2, pp.409-433. Epub Aug 17, 2020. ISSN 1983-1730. https://doi.org/10.14393/er-v27n2a2020-1.
This paper presents and discuss the results of a research performed on the context of PPGECIMAT (Programa de Pós-graduação em Ensino de Ciências e Matemática) of Universidade Franciscana. The objective of this work was to make a historical analysis of the guidance about the teaching of algebra on the final years of basic education. This was a qualitative research, based on the review of documents like PCN (Parâmetros Curriculares Nacionais) and BNCC (Base Nacional Comum Curricular), under the areas covering Math and Algebra to the final years of basic education. The analysis focused on the identification the changes made on the documents related to the teaching of algebra. It's been noted that Algebra was attached to Arithmetic subject, and in the technical aspect of the operations. However, on BNCC, the subject won importance, taking the commitment to build algebric thought and helping the development of computational thinking with math argumentation.
