Memories of the project Mathematics É Show and the autobiographic narratives

devices for a ludic, critical and cultural praxis

Abstract

In this article, we present some memories of the extension project “Mathematics is a Spectacle”, which, since 2011, has been developing activities that articulate theory and practice in the training of undergraduate students in Mathematics, based on the construction of differentiated, playful and contextualized teaching materials. On this path, we aim to reflect on its development, analyzing, from autobiographical narratives, the contributions of this project to the training of its participants. For this, we gathered the responses of the project monitors to the question: Is “Mathematics a Spectacle” for me...? These narratives were part of one of the activities commemorating the ten years of the project, carried out in 2020. The monitors expressed the meaning of the project in an emotional and poetic way, and each one, in their uniqueness, presented the contributions of " Mathematics is a Spectacle” to your academic, personal and professional life. The memories that constitute the project's history, effectively from the various actions developed, demonstrate the positive contributions to all involved and to the community of Alagoinhas the region, considering that public presentations are made in schools, academic events and at Rui Barbosa square in the city of Alagoinhas. Thus, we can say that these narratives were surprising and emotional due to the richness and creativity used by the monitors to express their reports, which reveal the project's potential, as well as the social responsibility we have as educators. Thus, we emphasize the importance of the extension and the research as the fundamental pillars of the University, as they provide opportunities for differentiated, playful, critical and cultural training.
