Abstract

The process of teaching and learning Mathematics in public schools has not obtained satisfactory results. It is notorious, the students' discouragement before the disciplines, especially that of Mathematics, which is taught in a way decontextualized of the student’s reality. As a measure to change this reality several projects were created, one of them is the Brazilian Mathematical Olympiad of Public Schools (OBMEP), which seeks to encourage the study of mathematics and discover new talents in addition to investing programs such as the Scientific Initiation Program (PIC Jr), adding to the academic training of young people. Aiming at its purpose and its importance in the academic environment, the present work sought to verify its influence on the mathematical learning procedure in the School Unit José Basson in order to understand how the realization of the School Unit, its relevance to the school curriculum of the institution and also ascertain whether it is considered as a way of bringing the student closer to the discipline. The study was conducted in grades 7 of elementary school II, developed through a questionnaire with students and interviews with teachers applied remotely through links generated by the platform google forms made available in Whatsapp groups and by email. The aim of the present results is to give a significant return to the community, enabling a new way of approaching the University in schools in order to enrich the methodology of teaching mathematics
