Proposta de sequência didática para o ensino de série de pagamentos e recebimentos periódicos e uniformes

Abstract

The elaboration of this work was motivated by the increasing need that people have, to efficiently manage their finances in the personal scope. In addition, the growing technological development allows stores, banks and other institutions to carry out negotiations via websites and through different applications, in order to expand and speed up their service. Therefore, it is important that people have basic knowledge of the financial area and the ability to use different technological resources that allow them to make a quick and safe decision when they intend to purchase some type of product or service. Faced with this need, a didactic sequence proposal was prepared for teaching periodic and uniform series of payments and/or receipts that aims to help teachers work with high school students in this process of financial education of citizens. Based on the concept of geometric progression, it was possible to demonstrate some results involving the terms of a series of payments and/or receipts. The activities proposed in the didactic sequence were elaborated sequentially, seeking to take advantage of the prior knowledge that the student has about each topic, associating, as far as possible, with situations of our daily life, in order to allow the student to visualize its application in problems real.
