RELAÇÕES ENTRE OS CONTEÚDOS GEOMÉTRICOS ENVOLVIDOS NAS PROVAS DA OBMEP E AS HABILIDADES MATEMÁTICAS PRESCRITAS NA BNCC

Abstract

This study aimed to relate the geometric contents provided in the Base Nacional Comum Curricular (BNCC) and those required for the resolutions of Brazilian Mathematics Olympiad of Public Schools' (OBMEP)  tests considering the performance of students participating in such Olympiad. Documentary research was carried out, through which the OBMEP tests from the period of 2015 to 2019, levels 1 and 2, and the mathematical contents of the BNCC were selected and analyzed. A connection was identified between the contents determined by the document and those necessary to carry out the tests in the ​​Geometry area, as well as the recognition that schools dedicated to the preparation of their students for the Olympiad tests changed their general performance in Mathematics. It was concluded that there is a correlation between the skills indicated in the curricular base to be developed by the students and the knowledge necessary to solve the questions of the tests. Furthermore, the participation of students in the Olympics caused an increase in grades in Mathematics, which reveals the need to carry out further research to seek alternatives to overcome school failure in this area.
