This project was done at the Escola Municipal Henrique Dodsworth
located in,Av.Epitácio
Person, nr.474, Ipanema. The
project was done with Marcia Reis, she is a math
teacher and teaches middle school. During her class, Marcia Reis teaches
her students the basics of fundamental mathematics.
From the set of words that compose
the universe of the lexical teacher Marcia Reis, I recognized as the theme
for the project: "Practice makes perfect, learn the multiplication
table by heart"
One of the activities developed by
Professor Marcia Reis was to involve the child with the multiplication
table, since many of the exercises given in class had some connection with
the it. Defining a concept as a goal for the project was that the child
could memorize the multiplication table in a playful and pleasurable way.
A double-entry table was made as the final product; it contained
multiplication tables with little “curtains” to cover the results of the
multiplication. Besides the panel, three different sizes of rings and cards
were made, each containing an multiplication. The
rings were made so that the teacher could add a certain value to each ring.
Each card had a multiplication on it.
The final product was used by the
teacher in a very dynamic and effective. Despite the timidity of some, all
students agreed to participate in the activities involving the final
object.
At first, I partnered to work on the project with a
friend of mine who i had known since I started
studying at PUC. However, at the beginning of the project, after we had
just picked our partner who would work with us during the entire period,
she dropped out of Design and ended up going to another college. When I
discovered that I would do the project alone, I got scared. I thought of
dropping out of the class and try doing it in the next period; nonsense. I
talked with my teachers, and they said that if I walked away now, I would
be walking away on myself. During the conversation, I found the willpower
to continue the project even though alone. This made me revise my own
concepts about my life and especially my career as a designer.
Finally, I would like to thank everybody who made it possible for this
project to come out of the paper. Thank you!

Conclusion and Evaluation of the partner, Marcia Reis:
The interest of Eric in doing
this project in my math class surprised me. As a student of the
Department of Arts, I thought it would be the natural
choice would be the class of arts education that happens here at
the school. Because of his attitude I
believe that the student is
not afraid of challenges. He sought for the most
hard working subject and developed
a dynamic and creative
work, which involved the whole class during his final presentation. Responsible and
punctual. Congratulations!
