Resumen
The present work focused on developing teaching activities that would provide to the student
in initial teacher training, improving the ability of mathematical reasoning and hence a greater
appreciation of the concepts related to the golden section, the irrational numbers, and the
incommensurability the demonstration from the reduction to the nonsensical. This survey is
classified itself as a field one which data collection were inserted within a quantitative and
qualitative approach. Acted in this research, two classes in initial teacher training. These were
teachers and employees of public schools and local governments, living in the capital, in
Natal Metropolitan Region - and within the country. The empirical part of the research took
place in Pedagogy and Mathematics courses, IFESP in Natal - RN. The theoretical and
methodological way construction aimed to present a teaching situation, based on history,
involving mathematics and architecture, derived from a concrete context - Andrea Palladio s
Villa Emo. Focused discussions on current studies of Rachel Fletcher stating that the architect
used the golden section in this village construction. As a result, it was observed that the
proposal to conduct a study on the mathematical reasoning assessment provided, in teaching
and activity sequences, several theoretical and practical reflections. These applications,
together with four sessions of study in the classroom, turned on to a mathematical thinking
organization capable to develop in academic students, the investigative and logical reasoning
and mathematical proof. By bringing ancient Greece and Andrea Palladio s aspects of the
mathematics, in teaching activities for teachers and future teachers of basic education, it was
promoted on them, an improvement in mathematical reasoning ability. Therefore, this work
came from concerns as opportunity to the surveyed students, thinking mathematically. In fact,
one of the most famous irrational, the golden section, was defined by a certain geometric
construction, which is reflected by the Greek phrase (the name "golden section" becomes
quite later) used to describe the same: division of a segment - on average and extreme right.
Later, the golden section was once considered a standard of beauty in the arts. This is
reflected in how to treat the statement questioning by current Palladio s scholars, regarding
the use of the golden section in their architectural designs, in our case, in Villa Emo
