Math in the human movement

Abstract

Thisvpaper is a theoretical reflective study about Mathematics in Human Movement related of the area of Geometry in Elementary School. We seek to show some Geometry topics in a dynamic and visual way, developing active methodologies for an innovative education. First, we discuss very briefly the textbooks and then how Geometry is presented in them. Then, we discuss ways in which Human Movement: dancing, using the goniometer and walking as a way to measure movement have correlations with mathematical concepts such as: point, line, plane, angles, and conversion of measures. It is our intention to bring the interdisciplinary theme as a form of methodology of what to say, write (mathematical modeling), as well as what to do in practice. We show meaning full earning and encourage the participation of students in the construction of knowledge.
