Estudo dos polígonos por intermédio da pavimentação do plano

Abstract

This paper presents the objective to study the polygons, regular polygons in special, from tessellations of the Euclidean plane (or mosaics, as they are widely known). Thus, it was performed a case study with dynamic approach, with the purpose to promote, in high school, the study of geometry, plane geometry in particular, focusing on polygons. It was sought, from the manipulation of concrete materials, lead students to adopt a participatory posture in the construction of the own knowledge. The research was conducted with a class of second year of high school in a public school in the municipality of Catalão, Goiás. As a result, there was a better understanding of geometric concepts discussed by the students.
