FROM ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION TO THE MOST DYNAMIC AND ENGAGING ENVIRONMENT IN MATHEMATICS

Abstract

The present study recommends the integration of environmental education with the teaching of mathematics in basic education institutions. This learning methodology allows students to experience and experiment with the concepts learned in the classroom, making the environment more meaningful, as it contributes to the student realizing the usefulness of mathematics in the context of the real world. For this, an example of collaborative activity that stimulates self-directed learning, promoting the development of skills and competencies was presented. In addition, it was proposed that schools break with the traditional teaching model, adopting interdisciplinarity in the school environment. Literature research and website studies revealed that collaborative learning encourages students to expose their ideas and develop autonomy, especially when school activities are associated with the student's social context. It is concluded, therefore, that educational institutions should establish the relationship between mathematics and environmental and social issues, contributing to the integral formation of the student and encouraging them to adopt sustainable practices, with the aim of creating a more balanced future.
