Software that teaches mathematics will be available to schools … – Globo.com

A software created in Amapá and used for learning math fractions are in the registration process and can be used in public and private schools. The “Fractron” developed at the time of doctoral Professor Rafael Bridge, the Federal University of Amapá (Unifap), was tested experimentally in November 2013, with 246 students of the school Antonio de Lima Neto in Macapa. The approval ratings of the students reinforced the effectiveness of the formula.

Bridges explains that the project is in registration with the Ministry of Science and Technology, and, according to him, is a program that transfers the learning of mathematics for digital means. After registration, the tool can be acquired free of charge by schools.

“The idea is to provide the school with a frequency of interactive activities with the student, where he is encouraged to build their own rules teaching fractions, and also the logical reasoning and the interpretation of texts, what we call meaningful learning “, explained the professor, who suggests, with the digital medium, greater and better use of computer labs in schools.

At the time of the experiment in public school, one of the participating teachers, Antonio Costa, said the increase in student interest in mathematics. “I realized the students more willing to learn in class because they have more autonomy to be on computers,” said the teacher of a class of 6th grade of elementary school.
