Abstract:
It is quite remarkable that so much is known about arithmetic in ancient Egypt. The major source of our knowledge is the Rhind Mathematical Papyrus, circa 1600 B.C., named after A. Henry Rhind. Sir Henry purchased the papyrus in 1858 after it had been discovered in Thebes in the ruins of a small structure. No other document presents such extensive information about early Egyptian mathematics. The papyrus can be viewed in London at the British Museum, which received it as a legacy of the Rhind estate.

Abstract:
Many history-of-mathematics textbooks begin with the four ancient centers of civilization: Egypt, with its pyramids and Rhind papyri; Babylon, with its cuneiform blocks and sexagesimal system; China, with its magic squares and arithmetic classics; and India, with its Sanskrit manuscripts and numeral system. The focus then shifts chronologically to Greek geometry, Arab algebra, Renaissance calculus, nineteenth-century specializations, and finally, the technologically aided wonders of our present age.

This dissertation was aimed at developing an RPG (Role Playing Game), inspired on the Rhind Papyrus, to introduce the idea of unknown number to students of the seventh grade of elementary school. To this end, we discoursed on the pedagogical potential of the RPG found in some studies, which explore the game as a pedagogical tool. We also presented a brief description of the Rhind Mathematical Papyrus, as far as their parts, organization and content are concerned. From the method of false position, present in the Rhind Papyrus, we tried to develop issues, which were incorporated in the RPG, to introduce the idea of the unknown number. We present, thus, an account of the game application to a group of five students in a public school of Sao Paulo state. This report points to some strategies used by students to solve problems and to the positive and negative aspects of the game. Among the negative aspects we can list the difficulties related to non-linear narrative of the games, the language used in the game besides the fact that not all the students feel motivated to play RPG. With regard to the positive aspects, one can highlight the involvement of some students with problems in the game, which is noted at their attempt to solving problems, showing that the students faced the errors in a positive way
Essa dissertação teve como objetivo a elaboração de um RPG (Role Playing Game), inspirado no Papiro de Rhind, para introduzir a noção de incógnita para alunos do sétimo ano do ensino fundamental. Para tanto, discorremos sobre as potencialidades pedagógicas do RPG presentes em alguns estudos que exploram o jogo como ferramenta pedagógica. Apresentamos também uma breve descrição do Papiro Matemático de Rhind, considerando suas partes, organização e conteúdo. A partir do método de falsa posição, presente no Papiro de Rhind, tentamos elaborar problemas, que foram incorporados no RPG, para introduzir a noção de incógnita. Apresentamos, assim, um relato da aplicação do jogo a um grupo de cinco alunos de uma escola publica estadual da grande São Paulo. Este relato aponta para algumas estratégias utilizadas pelos alunos para resolver os problemas e para os aspectos positivos e negativos do jogo. Dentre os aspectos negativos podemos listar as dificuldades relacionadas com a narrativa não linear das partidas, a linguagem que utilizamos no jogo além do fato de quem nem todos os estudantes se sentem motivados para jogar RPG. Como pontos positivos, podemos apontar para o envolvimento de alguns estudantes com os problemas presentes no jogo, o que é notório nas tentativas que os alunos fizeram para resolver os problemas, denotando que os alunos encararam os erros de uma maneira positiva

Abstract:
It is the author's belief that middle school mathematics is greatly taught in isolation with little or no mention of its origin. Teaching mathematics from a historical perspective will lead to greater understanding, student inspiration, motivation, excitement, varying levels of learning, and appreciation for this subject. This thesis will develop four units that will incorporate original source documents and selected historical topics surrounding computation, numbers, and early calculating devices. Many of the units will center on the Rhind Papyrus and The Treviso Arithmetic. These units will be appropriate to middle school, with an emphasis on 6th grade.

CAPES
The main objective of this research is to see whether the false position method, used to solve some problems Rhind Papyrus, can be an alternative for solving problems that involve the 1st degree equations with one unknown for students from the 7th grade of elementary school. The Egyptians used this method and this is a way to find the solution of the problem by requiring an initial value, considered the false position, which should be adjusted immediately to obtain the correct value. As we noted not rare that this strategy is adopted by students nowadays, we believe this is a plausible alternative to the teaching content. To check the effectiveness of the method, We conducted a case study ? adopting a qualitative approach to analyze the data collected in search ? with a group of the 7th grade in a municipal school in Rio de Janeiro. We propose a sequence of three activities, applied in a single meeting, where after the resolution of problems by students, we began a discussion of what strategies adopted. After the resolution of the first activity, a problem taken from the Rhind Papyrus, during the period for the discussion of the problem, we show how the Egyptians resolved. We can see that a considerable amount of them identified with the method, by the way they decided later activities.
O principal objetivo desta pesquisa ? verificar se o m?todo da falsa posi??o, utilizado para resolver alguns problemas do Papiro de Rhind, pode ser uma alternativa para resolu??o de problemas que envolvem equa??es do 1? grau com uma inc?gnita para alunos do 7? ano do ensino fundamental. Esse m?todo era utilizado pelos eg?pcios e trata-se de um caminho para encontrar a solu??o do problema atrav?s da estipula??o de um valor inicial, considerado a falsa posi??o, que dever? ser ajustado imediatamente ap?s para se obter o valor correto. Como observamos n?o ser raro que essa estrat?gia seja adotada pelos discentes nos dias atuais, acreditamos ser essa uma alternativa plaus?vel para o ensino do conte?do. Para verificar a efic?cia do m?todo, realizamos um estudo de caso ? adotando uma abordagem qualitativa para analisar os dados recolhidos na pesquisa ? com uma turma do 7? ano em uma escola da rede municipal do Rio de Janeiro. Propomos uma sequ?ncia de tr?s atividades, aplicada em um ?nico encontro, onde ap?s a resolu??o dos problemas pelos discentes, inici?vamos uma discuss?o sobre quais estrat?gias adotaram. Ap?s a resolu??o da primeira atividade, um problema retirado do Papiro de Rhind, durante o per?odo destinado ? discuss?o do problema, mostramos como os eg?pcios o resolviam. Podemos perceber que uma quantidade consider?vel deles se identificou com o m?todo, pela forma como resolveram as atividades posteriores.

Abstract:
This chapter traces the beginnings of mathematical notation. For tens of thousands of years, humans had been leaving signification marks in their surroundings, gouges on trees, footprints in hard mud, scratches in skin, and even pigments on rocks. A simple mark can represent a thought, indicate a plan, or record a historical event. Yet the most significant thing about human language and writing is that speakers and writers can produce a virtually infinite set of sounds, declarations, notions, and ideas from a finite set of marks and characters. The chapter discusses the emergence of the alphabet, counting, and mathematical writing. It also considers the discovery of traces of Sumerian number writing on clay tablets in caves from Europe to Asia, the use of Egyptian hieroglyphics, and algebra problems in the Rhind (or Ahmes) papyrus that presented simple equations without any symbols other than those used to indicate numbers.
