LEITE, Maria Beatriz Ferreira; FERREIRA, Denise Helena Lombardo e SCRICH, Cintia Rigão. Explorando conteúdos matemáticos a partir de temas ambientais. Ciência educ. [online]. 2009, vol.15, n.01, pp.129-138. ISSN 1516-7313.
Environmental education is an educative process which aims at developing teaching tools and extending educative practice to make human beings live in harmony with the environment. Mathematical Modeling is a strategy for teaching and learning, in which the students change situations of reality into mathematical models through investigation, action and validating, approaching problems which are related to their everyday lives. Modeling enables the learning of mathematical content applied to other sciences, where Mathematics is learned and understood as a tool for the comprehension and possible change of reality. Thus, mathematical models can be a useful tool to make us conscious while subject of our own action. In this work, the themes approached are: fish growth; air pollution and toxic agrochemicals.
