A suggested approach CTS activity contributing to the process of teaching mathematics

Abstract

This work, focusing Science, Technology and Society, presents the development of the project "Blackout, again?" Which was intended to alert students that electricity is relevant to the way of living in this century. The subjects of this project were students of the ninth year of elementary school to a public school located in the city of Ponta Grossa in Paraná State. It should be noted that in the course of the project, data were collected through daily records made by the researcher, records made by students and individual and collective conversations, audio taped. And that their analysis was qualitative. In general, the activities performed during the project were relevant because they allowed a reflection on the experience of the student, focusing on the concepts of energy involved in their day-to-day. Thus, teachers of other disciplines can take ownership of this project and develop it with goals of their own content.
