A modelagem matemática no ensino de volume de cubo a partir da poluição do Rio Ipitanga: uma abordagem experimental em sala de aula

Abstract

This article presents the results of an action research, with a qualitative approach, carried out with students from an eighth-grade class at a public school in the city of Salvador-BA. In the work, we sought to investigate, through a mathematical modeling strategy, a al modeling strategy, the possibility of students understanding cube volume calculations, based on the theme of environmental pollution, with an emphasis on the contamination of the Ipitanga River, located in the Metropolitan Region of Salvador, State from Bahia. With the study carried out, greater motivation was noticed for the subject and the mathematics content studied, in addition to a significant improvement in the performance of the students, who had the opportunity to discuss the topic in depth becoming aware of its importance, based on understanding and analyzing the consequences of environmental pollution.
