Abstract

Abstract: This article has the goal of proposing physical contextual situations modeling as a way to interpret mathematical representations that are produced by digital technological tools. Thus, there is an experimental situation-problem about a physical phenomenon that is modeled through video analysis and dynamic geometry software; the methodological model Cuvima conducts the experimental activity. Pre-testing and post-testing measuring instruments were designed to obtain the information and previous conceptions of ten graduate students in Mathematical Education, which showed a conceptual change. Similarly, results prove that digital technology, from a didactical sequence, supports and strengthens experimental work simplifying modeling processes of a physical phenomenon, promoting the use of mathematical representations to solve a situation-problem.
