Classroom experience report: the importance of problematized mathematics for learning

Abstract

Objective: Present an experience in teaching mathematics through the use of problematization and seeks to build possible articulations that favor learning. Experience report: In 2022, a project was carried out in the first year classes of an integrated technical course at the Instituto Federal Fluminense with the aim of enhancing the teaching of Mathematics in the post-pandemic period. Priority was given to the first year classes, as we will still have these classes at the Institute for two more years and it is intended to carry out new studies with the same classes based on the results of this one. This article presents an experience using Mathematical Modeling in a problematized way with the objective of investigating and analyzing the contributions that such an experience can generate for the learning of the concept of function. Final considerations: Through the observations, the behaviors and constructions carried out by the students were analyzed and such analyzes show that the activities presented through the use of mathematical modeling using problematized mathematics arouse the interest and motivation of the students and with that, favor the learning process and also favor the relationship between student-teacher, student-student and student-mathematics.
