Função quadrática: estudando aplicações do cotidiano para facilitar à aprendizagem dos alunos

Abstract

The research that supported the construction of this article had as its theme the study of the quadratic function and its application in everyday life as a way of facilitating student learning. The general objective of the work was to explore everyday problem situations that can be resolved by applying knowledge about quadratic functions as a way of minimizing the learning difficulties of students in the 1st year of high school at IFPI. As support for the theoretical foundation, the research was based on studies by authors such as Dante and Viana (2020), Lustosa (2019), Masola and Allevato (2019), Miranda (2017), as well as other authors. As for the methodological procedure, qualitative-quantitative research was used, with the collaboration of a 1st grade high school class from the Federal Institute of Piauí. Among the results found, it was highlighted that the practical activities used as a methodological resource promote student learning, despite some difficulties being encountered in carrying out the activities.
