Resumo: The use of historical documents as didactic resources from the history of mathematics, makes it possible to build interfaces between history and teaching. Among these documents, the treatise A Booke Named Tectonicon, published in the year 1556, by the Englishman Leonard Digges (1520-1559), which presents three measuring instruments. Thus, this article aims to present mathematical concepts incorporated in the graduated scales of the carpenter's ruler. For this, a qualitative research of documentary nature was carried out, carrying out a translation of the original work, specific to the mathematical knowledge present in the treatise. After observing the side of the instrument that presents as graduated scales, note in its construction the mobilization of mathematical concepts such as units of measure and fractions. Thus, it is concluded that the construction and graduation process of the front part of the carpenter's ruler, has potentially didactic items, mainly aimed at incorporating mathematical instruments into teaching.

Entre estos documentos, el tratado A Booke Named Tectonicon, publicado en el año 1556, por el inglés Leonard Digges (1520-1559), que presenta tres instrumentos de medida. Así, este artículo tiene como objetivo presentar conceptos matemáticos incorporados en las escalas graduadas de la regla de carpintero. Para ello, se realizó una investigación cualitativa de carácter documental, realizando una traducción de la obra original, con el objetivo de comprender los conocimientos matemáticos presentes en el tratado. Luego de observar el lado del instrumento que presenta las escalas graduadas, se nota en su construcción la movilización de conceptos matemáticos como unidades de medida y fracciones. Así, se concluye que el proceso de construcción y graduación de la parte frontal de la regla de carpintero, tiene elementos potencialmente didácticos, principalmente enfocados a la incorporación de instrumentos matemáticos en la enseñanza.A utilização de documentos históricos, como recursos didáticos advindos da História da Matemática, possibilita construções de interfaces entre a história e o ensino. Dentre esses documentos, encontra-se o tratado A Booke Named Tectonicon, publicado no ano de 1556, pelo inglês Leonard Digges (1520-1559), que apresenta três instrumentos de medida. A partir disso, este artigo tem o intuito de apresentar conceitos matemáticos incorporados nas escalas graduadas da régua de carpinteiro. Para isso, fez-se necessário realizar uma pesquisa qualitativa de cunho documental, efetuando uma tradução da obra original, visando compreender os conhecimentos matemáticos presentes no tratado. Após observar o lado do instrumento que apresenta as escalas graduadas, nota-se, em sua construção, a mobilização de conceitos matemáticos como unidades de medida e frações. Assim, conclui-se que o processo de construção e graduação da parte da frente da régua de carpinteiro possui itens potencialmente didáticos, voltados, principalmente, para a incorporação de instrumentos matemáticos ao ensino.Editora Unimontes2021-04-08info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://www.periodicos.unimontes.br/index.php/emd/article/view/335810.46551/emd.e202109Educação Matemática Debate; v. 5 n. 11 (2021): jan./dez.; 1-172526-6136reponame:Educação Matemática Debateinstname:Universidade Estadual de Montes Claros (UNIMONTES)instacron:UNIMONTESporhttps://www.periodicos.unimontes.br/index.php/emd/article/view/3358/4192https://www.periodicos.unimontes.br/index.php/emd/article/view/3358/3996https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/deed.pt_BRinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess Paulino, Sabrina de SousaPereira, Ana Carolina Costa2024-03-27T18:02:24Zoai:ojs2.periodicos.unimontes.br:article/3358Revistahttps://www.periodicos.unimontes.br/index.php/emdPUBhttps://www.periodicos.unimontes.br/index.php/emdrevista.emd@unimontes.br||2526-61362526-6136opendoar:2024-03-27T18:02:24Educação Matemática Debate - Universidade Estadual de Montes Claros (UNIMONTES)false
