Análise do uso de um aplicativo no ensino de sistemas de equações lineares

Abstract

The theme of this work deals with the use of anapplication (Photomath) for smartphones in the teaching of systems of linear equations, aiming to analyze the potentials, contributions and limitations of the use of this application for the mathematical formation of students, inside and outside the school environment, discussing the possibilities of improving learning using new technologies. The presentworkis a qualitativestudy, usingfieldresearch as themain source of investigation, which occurred through the application of an activity in the classroom, with high school students from a state publicschool in Paraíba. For the theoretical basis of the research, texts related to historical data and articles dealing with the use of new information and communication technologies in education were used. The results obtained were positive, showing the qualities of the tool to support the modeling of mathematical problems and the understanding of the suitability of different processes for solving a system, depending on the nature of the equations that make up the system. The students participated in the activity of solving the questions proposed in the activity applied in the classroom, interacting and exchanging ideas about the use of the application.
