A RAZÃO ÁUREA E O NÚMERO DE OURO: INTERDISCIPLINARIDADE, ESTÉTICA E APRENDIZAGEM MATEMÁTICA NO ENSINO MÉDIO

This research aimed to analyze the pedagogical potential of the Golden Ratio and the Golden Number as tools for learning mathematics in high school, emphasizing their aesthetic, interdisciplinary, and formative dimensions. The qualitative research, based on a literature review, was developed from the analysis of classic and contemporary works that address the concept of the Golden Ratio from different perspectives— mathematical, philosophical, historical, and artistic. Grounded in authors such as Euclid, D’Ambrosio, Freire, Gardner, and Moran, the investigation sought to understand how the presence of the Golden Ratio can promote meaningful learning, connecting logical reasoning to aesthetic sensitivity and the perception of beauty present in nature and human creations. The results indicate that the interdisciplinary approach to the Golden Ratio favors the development of critical and creative thinking, stimulating students' interest in mathematics and their understanding of its cultural and humanistic value. It is concluded that teaching the Golden Ratio, when integrated into different areas of knowledge, contributes to the student's comprehensive development, articulating science, art, and education in a more sensitive, reflective, and transformative learning process.
