Trabalhando matemática nas aulas de química: desenvolvimento de atividades de modelagem matemática

Abstract

This research is about the use of math in chemistry classes, using math modeling activity to work with the chemistry subjects by an innovative way, being possible to create a collaborative work with both subjects and then attract the attention of the students, showing that there is no much difference between both subjects as many people think. To set up the discussion, experiments have been developed to emphasize the use of math in the chemistry classes, turning the subject explanation more clear and visible for people to see how the use of math modeling can allow a dynamic and clear teaching. In order to build up the discussion, textbooks exercises examples were used with experiments and activities to show how the process works by the best possible way. So, with this proposal, the research intend to collaborate with the many professional of the area, more specifically with the chemistry and math teachers who can learn how to work using de math modeling and work together, in order to bring a new meaning for the classes and a new subject perception by the students.
