Sistemas de numeração: registro de uma experiência em clubes de matemática

Abstract

This paper aims to present and systematize the records of the activity entitled Numbering Systems developed in the years 2015 to 2018 by PIBID fellows at the Laboratory of Mathematical Applications-Lapmat, at the Federal University of Western Pará-Ufopa. Having as main references the master dissertation of RODRIGUES (2013) and the book by Georges Ifrah (2005), in which is made a historical contextualization about the main Numbering Systems used by great civilizations in the past. It also discusses the main properties of Positional Systems as well as its advantages over other systems. The experiences of the author and other fellows active in the project from 2015 to 2018 are also discussed regarding its application with students of 9th grade of elementary school and 1st grade of public schools in the city of Santarém-PA. These experiences were recorded in the reports of the fellows who worked in the activity during the years in which it was applied under the Mathematics Clubs project. Finally, the author highlights the importance of fostering projects aimed at teaching practice since the early years of the academy.
