Milena Carolina dos Santos Mangueira; Francisco Regis Vieira Alves; Paula Maria Machado Cruz Catarino; Elen Viviani Pereira Spreafico – Pedagogical Research, 2024
This work is a segment of an ongoing doctoral research in Brazil. The Leonardo numbers and the Leonardo sequence have gained attention from mathematicians and the academic community. Despite being a relatively new sequence within mathematical literature, its discussion has intensified over the past five years, giving rise to other branches, with…

Lopes, Aldo Peres Campos – International Electronic Journal of Mathematics Education, 2022
This study addresses three aspects of the attitude towards mathematics: usefulness, interest, and recognition of the social roles of mathematics. Mathematical modeling activities were developed and conducted with engineering students. We analyzed how the attitude towards mathematics is manifested in this context and what contribution can be to a…

Singh, Mahua – Australian Mathematics Education Journal, 2021
In 2020, Year 12 students at John Curtin College of the Arts, were required to model COVID-19 data from five different countries in order to find correlations between daily infections and unemployment rates, in order to make future predictions. Work received from students demonstrated how the task successfully provided unique learning…

da Silva, Karina Alessandra Pessoa; de Almeida, Lourdes Maria Werle – REDIMAT - Journal of Research in Mathematics Education, 2018
In this article we present a reflection about the meaning attribution to the mathematical object "exponential function" that emerges from two mathematical modeling activities. The theoretical framework of the text contemplates considerations on Mathematical Modeling and elements of semiotics as theorized by Charles Sanders Peirce. The…

Rosa, Milton; Orey, Daniel Clark – For the Learning of Mathematics, 2019
The application of ethnomathematics and mathematical modelling allow us to see a different reality and give us insight into mathematics accomplished holistically. In this context, a pedagogical action that connects ethnomathematics and the cultural aspects of mathematical modelling with its academic features is referred to as ethnomodelling. This…

Campos, Celso; Wodewotzki, Maria Lucia; Jacobini, Otavio; Ferrira, Denise – Universal Journal of Educational Research, 2016
The objective of this article is, based on the Critical Statistics Education assumptions, to value some environmental interfaces in teaching Statistics by modeling projects. Due to this, we present a practical case, one in which we address an environmental issue, placed in the context of the teaching of index numbers, within the Statistics…

Rosa, Milton; Orey, Daniel Clark – Journal of Urban Mathematics Education, 2013
In this article, the authors discuss a pedagogical approach that connects the cultural aspects of mathematics with its academic aspects in which they refer to as ethnomodeling. Ethnomodeling is the process of translation and elaboration of problems and questions taken from systems that are part of the daily life of the members of any given…
