Matematizando o futebol: Uma proposta para o Ensino e Aprendizagem de Equação do Segundo Grau

Abstract

Soccer is a great passion for Brazilians, whether for leisure or work. The objective of this Course Completion Work is to show how soccer can be used as a teaching resource for teaching mathematics, especially in teaching the quadratic equation. To this end, we carried out research during supervised internship subjects in three public schools in Uberlândia - MG, where, in classes taught by the researcher, elementary and high school students were exposed to how mathematics is included in soccer and other areas of soccer, life and they were instructed to solve quadratic equation exercises involving mathematics and football, and the results were quite satisfactory, as we saw an increase in students' interest in mathematics. The use of content from students' daily lives proved to be a valid tool for the classroom approach.
