SUMMARY:

This dissertation presents a possibility for teaching and learning geometry through the Project-Based Learning (PBL) approach. The study is characterized by research of an applied nature, permeated by a descriptive approach and content analysis, with the adoption of qualitative methods. These methods were employed to investigate the implementation of an activity conducted with 9th-grade students in elementary school, in a public school, during which they developed a project for the creation of a playground in the school’s leisure area, aiming to benefit the entire local community. As they embarked on this mission, students applied their mathematical knowledge, particularly geometric, both those already acquired and those developed during the project’s elaboration process. In addition to the meticulous observation of the entire study, discussion, and production process, evaluative questionnaires were administered to allow students to express their perceptions and experiences throughout the project. These questionnaires were fundamental for data analysis, revealing that PBL is a methodology that can enrich the teaching and learning of geometry, promoting student engagement, collaborative work, and the acquisition of knowledge to deal with everyday issues beyond the school environment.
