Abstract
The didactic application of mathematical modelling in the curriculum of mathematics in secondary and its practical use in teaching and learning represents the core of this work. The objective was to analyze the production of ten pre-service mathematics teachers, related to a problem situation, specifically addressing: 1. The design of a guide for activities to be developed to model a situation, 2. Math concepts identified by them in the modelling and, 3. The development of an educational activity designed to expose the modelling of a proposal to school students. The study used a qualitative research and found that student teachers considered the joint teacher-student work, group discussion and reporting and communication of mathematical ideas to the class as very important.
