Modelagem matemática no cotidiano e as percepções sócio críticas de estudantes de 9º ano do ensino fundamental II

Abstract

This research aims to describe the contributions of mathematical modeling to the teaching of mathematics, as well as to explain the application of this methodology and its difficulties in this research that is guided by a qualitative approach, using action research. In this perspective, the promising aspects and obstacles to a teaching-learning using the Mathematical Modeling are described and exposed in this research, teaching that has from its starting point a perspective of historical vision. In this work, the concepts necessary for the definition of this teaching methodology are presented, having as reference the assumptions of the main mathematical modeling students in Brazil, the history of the same one is described so that it understands its development and the nuances that are part of this whole process. The research presents a discussion about the difficulties of the application and the possibilities of overcoming them, besides a description of data of the activities of construction of a model from situations experienced with the mathematical modeling in a room of 9º year of Elementary School II, which results in the verification of the possibility of effective contributions in teaching through the use of the Mathematical Modeling.
