AB  - A set of activities designed to foster geometricthought of students in the 2nd grade of junior High School (8th grade of elementaryschool in Brazil) is presented here. The activities were proposed to studentsof a public school. The learning was supported by teaching resources asTangram, Geoboard and Bending. The activities, interdisciplinary, realistic andplayful, were carried out in the Laboratory for the Teaching of Mathematics.The activities were performed in groups organized in such a way to enhance theinteraction between students of different levels of knowledge. A test to checkthe van Hiele level of students was applied before and afterwards. Theevaluations of the results of the tests reveal advances in the van Hiele level.The proposal applied to an experimental group provided an environment conduciveto meaningful learning. It must be pointed that it also increased studentsconfidence and stimulated them to develop continuity for the acquisition of newknowledge.
