Abstract

Within the Brazilian historical context, marked by the lag in students' learning to develop basic skills taught at school, especially in the subject of Mathematics, this work focuses on presenting a methodology that uses technological resources as a didactic tool during classes. Mathematics. The purpose of this article is to show the importance of using technologies as a teaching tool and as a didactic resource, making classes more dynamic and attractive, aiming to achieve better results in the teaching-learning process of Mathematics. For a greater understanding of the Teaching of Mathematics and the use of computational resources, a bibliographic research was initially carried out, based on some studies on this theme, studies developed by Tajra, Braga and Valente, among other authors. Then, a documentary research was carried out analyzing the proposals of the Parâmetros Curriculares Nacionais (PCN's), the Lei de Diretrizes e Bases da Educação Nacional (LDB) and the Common Base Nacional Comum Curricular (BNCC) on the insertion of information technology in Brazilian education.
