Matemática financeira: uma proposta de ensino para o 1º ano do ensino médio através da resolução de problemas.

Abstract

This article aims to present a qualitative research that aimed to analyze the teaching process of financial mathematics problem solving based on Pólya method. Based on this premise, the field research was carried out with students from a 1st year high school class at the Nazira Litafe Moriz State School located in the county of Tefé, Amazonas. Financial mathematics problems aimed at the daily lives of students were applied in order to bring the student's reality closer to their school routine, as well as the use of Pólya to solve mathematical problems without the use of a specific formula for each problem. From the results of the students' productions on the problems proposed in the classroom, it was possible to understand which stages of George Polya's problem solving were effective for teaching-learning. This article was not limited to the search for definitive answers, but to seek to understand the ways in which learning processes take place, thus having in mind as a reference the experiences of the students themselves when faced with solving mathematical problems.
