Geometric visualization in trash bins

Abstract

The abstract In this paper work we are bringing a qualitative and theoretical research that aimed to analyze photographed images seen of trash bins viewed in an environment in a city in the state of Rio Grande do Sul. In such concrete objects from the real world, the researcher found representative forms of geometric entities involving shapes and that can be explored for teaching and learning of Geometry. The analysis of these objects was connected to the objects contained in the literature and which are part of course curricular.  Methodologically, this is a theoretical investigation in which the Geogebra software was used to enable the aspects visualized intuitively by the observer-researcher to be confirmed and, thus, enabling records that would facilitate the process of understanding and formalizing certain concepts involved. We conclude that visual skills can provide the development of geometric thinking.
