ABSTRACT

This work is an experiential report implemented within the Pedagogical Residency Program, a governmental project by the Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel (CAPES), conducted in the Mathematics course at the State University of Londrina - Campus Londrina/PR, Brazil. The project took place in a 1st-year class of the public high school system in the same municipality, with the aim of teaching Linear Systems (Existence and Uniqueness of solution). The activity's construction and theoretical contributions were prompted by discussions on contextualization, encompassing social contextualization, pseudo-contextualization, and meaningful contextualization. These perspectives have implications for classroom practices. To achieve this goal, a sequence of mathematical tasks was developed and implemented, methodologically supported by Raymond Duval's Theory of Registers of Representation. The pedagogical tool employed was the GeoGebra software, a free platform for algebraic and geometric visualization and manipulation tools. The tasks aimed to transition between natural, algebraic, and geometric languages through the author's semiotic treatment and conversions. The report details the development of each task, discussing each step and the invested pedagogical intentions, summarizing semiotic actions in a framework. It was concluded that learning mathematical signs is only realized through approaches that construct meanings, as exemplified in this production, highlighting mathematics itself as a rich contextual source when used, for instance, with a semiotic approach.
