The teaching and learning of mathematics in public schools in Palmas - Tocantins, 2020 - 2022

Abstract

Amid the pandemic situation caused by COVID-19, educational institutions have undergone adjustment situations due to the new social isolation routine caused by public health problems. One of the major concerns was with education, but also with the health and life of those involved in this process. Preventive measures were necessary to preserve life, without neglecting the education of those involved. Then there was a mobilization of teachers and parents through the use of technologies for the development of educational content, in which classes were taught synchronously and asynchronously, via Meet, sometimes recorded and shared on platforms like Google Classroom and other means as groups of  Whatssap application. For students who did not have access to the internet, printed material were made available. Through the Pedagogical Residence Program promoted by the Federal Institute of Tocantins in partnership with CAPES and the Military College Unit I and II of Palmas - TO, Elementary School, and High School, it was possible to follow up the educational demands of teachers, students and family through the crisis caused by pandemic. During this period, Mathematics reinforcement classes were also held at Anne Frank Municipal School for 9th grade classes to help students in school content. Through studies, this project brings reports of experiences in the period of (2020 - 2022) and the forms of coping used by some schools to attenuate this gap left in education.
