Uma abordagem de Análise Combinatória para o Ensino Médio a partir de Situações-Problema

Abstract

In this work, we present a Combinatorial Analysis approach focusing on problem solving. We work with motivating and interesting problems in order to enable the student to develop strategies through problem situations and avoid the memorization process and the simple application of formulas. We conducted workshops with students from the High School, Maranhão State School, located in the city of Graça AranhaMA, as a way to evaluate our approach. The workshops were held in two stages, rst, a pre-test carried out with the students' prior knowledge, and later, the intervention with six meetings, each lasting 3 hours, we conducted a post-test. After the workshops, we performed the analysis of the results of the students investigated in this research.
