Educação maker utilizando matrizes, imagens digitais e pixel art no ensino de Matemática

Abstract

In this work it was proposed, developed, and analyzed a workshop to teach Mathematics, especially matrices, in a contextualized, practical, and interconnected way with Contemporary Transversal Themes, such as Science and Technology. This work aims to show students how matrices and other mathematical concepts are included in everyone's daily lives, especially when working with digital images, for example. The workshop was planned and registered in the Extension and Culture Information System (SIEX) of the Federal University of Uberlândia. It took place in a State School in Uberlândia with High School first year students. For this action, a script was created, which included problems to be solved using Scilab and some practical tasks, such as building digital and physical pixel arts. In addition, digital forms were created and the responses were used in this work for students' self-assessment and for the workshop evaluation.
