SUMMARY:

The main interest of this research is to analyze creativity in Mathematics in the resolution and elaboration of problem situations, based on the productions of 9th grade elementary school students from a public school in the outskirts of the Federal District, in the context of work with quadratic polynomial equations. When Mathematics became a field of knowledge, it was already associated with the privileged class of society, as a noble science, disconnected from crafts and manual activities. For many years, education was practically provided through the use of concepts, laws and formulas, without any real meaning for students. Our research aims to understand ways to break with this logic of teaching based on the memorization of rules and repetitive activities, for meaningful learning, with regard to the social practices of students. Our main question is: how do 9th grade elementary school students from a public school in the outskirts of the Federal District develop creativity in Mathematics, based on creative thinking in Mathematics, with the resolution and elaboration of problem situations involving quadratic polynomial equations? To answer this question, we outlined the following specific objectives: i) to describe evidence of creativity in Mathematics through creative thinking in the development of knowledge about quadratic polynomial equations, both in solving and developing problems involving this content; ii) to develop a map of creativity in Mathematics, verifying the opportunity to relate the content studied with social practices, allowing students to construct solutions and develop problems; and iii) to identify evidence of creative thinking in Mathematics based on students' verbalizations about the study of quadratic polynomial equations. The research is developed through a qualitative nature, with the application of the Mathematics Motivation Scale, semi-structured interviews with students, participant observation of mathematics classes, and the creation and implementation of six training workshops, aimed at a more critical teaching of quadratic polynomial equations.
