Função afim: uma visão etnomatemática na educação básica utilizando função polinomial do primeiro grau

Abstract

This paper investigates the application of the affine function in basic education, highlighting the integration of ethnomathematics as an effective pedagogical approach. The qualitative research is described as a systematic literature review, analyzing 03 academic productions (articles published in journals) published in the last 5 years and written in Portuguese. The general objective is to understand the different approaches to related function content, with special attention to the incorporation of ethnomathematics, aiming to understand how this perspective can contribute to improving teaching and learning. The results show that ethnomathematics, by connecting mathematical concepts with the sociocultural context of students, improves the understanding and practical application of mathematics. The analysis revealed that methodologies that link theory and practice, incorporating cultural knowledge and students' experiences, promote more meaningful and engaging learning. It is concluded that the adoption of such methodologies can transform the teaching of the affine function into a more relevant and effective experience, preparing students to apply mathematics in real and everyday situations.
