A PROPORÇÃO ÁUREA NA FOTOGRAFIA: UMA PROPOSTA DE ENSINO

Abstract

This article conducts a study on the golden ratio and the suggestion of a teaching proposal to introduce Basic Education students to this mathematical concept. In order to arouse curiosity and attention to Mathematics classes, we chose to direct the proposed activity to everyday life using photography as a resource for students to realize that it is possible to see Mathematics in its reality. From the bibliographical research we know some important points in the history of the golden ratio, the relationship with the Fibonacci sequence, the construction of the golden rectangle and the application of this concept in art, architecture, design and photography. As a way to link theoretical study to Mathematics classes, we propose a teaching activity that contemplates both theoretical aspects and the student's daily life through the use of photographs made by them using the studied concepts. For students, it is expected to encourage the visualization of Mathematics in the human body, in nature and in various areas; for teachers, we aim to present a way to approach mathematical content with tools beyond those available in the classroom.
