Modelagem Matemática como Metodologia no Ensino Regular: Estratégias e Possibilidades

Abstract

This work aims at presenting the mathematical modeling as a important alternative in recovering a significant mathematics for students valuing and empowering them to construct their own knowledge, relating the content to the diversity of everyday life. In order to deal with this problem, we present some problems and situations that should serve as guides for teachers and students which unaware of the use thereof. In them, we value creativity and construction knowledge by the student as well as develop some content present in the minimum curriculum of mainstream education. In the current context, where such resources are as yet little used by us math teachers, these problems are exposed in order to provide different possibilities of integrating mathematical modeling activities in the classroom with the expectation that readers create optimistic outlook to its use in the practice of teaching mathematics.
