Abstract

Mathematics is a fundamental skill in many aspects of a student’s life. Most students everywhere, and in this study in Brazil, sometimes lack motivation to thrive in such subjects. The work presented in this paper aims to contribute to the development of a multiplatform teaching and learning application through the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), in order to encourage the study of mathematics from the first years of basic education. The activities are divided into two areas: training teachers and how to integrate technology in the classroom through the use of mobile learning. The experience was conducted with children from the 5th grade, teaching them fractions and mathematics concepts all as part of a research project called "Technology Integration Proposal in Teaching STEM Disciplines in Public Basic Education", supported by CNPq – the Brazilian National Council for Scientific and Technological Development, and the project "Use of Remote Experimentation on Mobile Devices for Basic Education in Public Schools" supported by FRIDA (Regional Fund for Digital Innovation in Latin America and the Caribbean). In 2011, this project was selected as one of the most innovative research projects in Brazilian education by the Institute for Development and Educational Innovation (IDIE) of the Organization of Ibero-American States for Education, Science and Culture (OEI) and sponsored by Fundación Telefónica.
