Maths in Construction

By Alline de Almeida and Marcelo Azevedo de Souza

This work is the result of Marcelo Azevedo de Souza's dissertation in natural sciences and maths at the University of Blumenau (FURB) - Blumenau/Santa Catarina - Brazil. The main purpose of this book is to show readers, teachers and students of youth and adult education and ethnomathematics researchers, that the everyday mathematics used in construction can be related to the mathematics taught in schools and that both can go hand in hand in an organised way, with the aim of developing excellence in the teaching and learning of this subject. The subjects chosen in this book are varied and come from the student's everyday life, so they can be applied in any classroom in basic and higher education. The book features a brief introduction, explaining the choice of topic, general and specific objectives, the structure of each chapter, followed by creative and challenging activities, a timetable for application, research methods, data collection, resources to be used, mathematical games for the construction industry, and finally, tips for future application.
