Abstract

O presente trabalho visa investigar como o cérebro processa as frações, sejam elas simbólicas ou não. Estudos recentes principiam a esclarecer os mecanismos neurológicos subjacentes a esse processo. Eles demonstram que frações não são apenas construtos mentais, resultados de considerá-las como a razão entre dois números inteiros, mas sim são dadas intuitivamente, ou seja, são representações inatas. Investiga-se como esses resultados podem ser traduzidos à luz da História da Matemática, mostrando-se como a neurofisiologia do processamento das frações influiu na evolução histórica desse conceito matemático. Enfatiza-se a importância pedagógica desses resultados.
