Uma proposta de atividade de modelagem matemática como tarefa de aprendizagem profissional

Abstract

This final course project presents the development and analysis of a mathematical modeling activity designed for the early grades of elementary school, focusing on the issue of paper waste and its relationship to sustainability. This qualitative study, which is theoretical in nature, analyzes the activity in light of the design principles of Professional Learning Tasks (PLTs), considering aspects related to task structure, curriculum alignment, the knowledge required to complete the task, and the anticipation of difficulties and interventions. The analysis seeks to highlight the potential of a modeling activity to support discussions in the context of training mathematics teachers. The results indicate that the activity aligns with TAP principles, particularly regarding the mobilization of mathematical knowledge and knowledge about modeling. Based on the study, we infer that the design principles of TAP can support reflections on planning and suggest approaches for implementing modeling in the classroom.
