O uso de modelagem matemática no ensino de função quadrática no ensino médio

Abstract

In the present work, we sought to approach and reflect on a methodology that would promote a better development of learning through mathematical modeling, with the general objective of presenting mathematical modeling as an alternative strategy for teaching quadratic function addressing questions and practical situations, and aims to present mathematical modeling as a teaching strategy, develop a mathematical model that can be used within the definition of quadratic function, describe step by step the elaboration and application of the mathematical model to address this content. The activities related to this work were carried out in the classroom and in the environment of an indoor soccer court with a study of quadratic function through a problem about the trajectory of a ball, when it was kicked, in a soccer court. hall, with students from a federal school in the city of Angical do Piauí. Soon after, an activity was applied to the students so that they could understand the construction of quadratic function laws, later an analysis of the students' development and use in relation to the strategy used
