Criação do Software Educacional "Quebra-Cabeça com Funções Matemáticas": Uma Ferramenta para o Ensino do Comportamento de Funções

Abstract

This article describes the development of the educational mobile software "Mathematical Functions Puzzle," designed with the purpose of enhancing the teaching of function behaviors. The software's mission is to p rovide an engaging and captivating approach to the study of mathematical functions. In this initial version, the app focuses on concepts related to linear functions, incorporating gamification elements that encourage users to overcome challenges while internalizing the educational principles inherent in the game. The software includes an interactive tutorial that guides users through the game mechanics and its objectives, following a path composed of five distinct stages, each representing a unique challenge. The software not only serves as a valuable tool for teaching and learning function behaviors but also offers a carefully designed interface to optimize the user experience and ensure comfortable program usage.
