Potentially Meaningful Teaching Unit: Building Mathematical Problems Involving Power

Abstract

In this work we aim to develop a Potentially Meaningful Teaching Unit (PMTU), capable of satisfying the interests and theories of meaningful learning. Using interdisciplinarity to make classes more attractive and a better transfer of information in order to form the concepts of teaching energy. Methodologically the research has a qualitative approach. Focused on the formation of the PMTU, before discussing the concepts of Physics and Mathematics, students are worked on a conceptual map produced by them, from the topic Energy Generators, making it possible for the teacher to observe the previous knowledge of each student regarding the theme. After all the content has been worked on, the proposal is to create a new conceptual map using the same theme of analysis, so that the teacher can observe whether the student has incorporated the fundamental concepts in his knowledge and for himself to evaluate his classes.As a basis we have interdisciplinarity, with mathematics being the main subject, and considering Antonio Vanderlei dos Santos et al.
