A construção do conceito de juros compostos com o uso do software Libre Office Calc

Abstract

In this work were explored the software Libre Office Calc potencialities in solving problems that involved the concept of composite holes. The activities were carried out with a group of students of the third year of high school in the state school of basic education General Neto located in Sant'Ana do Livramento. The objective of this practice is that the student can interpret and reflect on the problems of compound interest, using for this the ease of calculation that the spreadsheet offers. In addition to dynamizing the class and presenting students a different way of working based on technological resources and problem solving, this classroom experience involved young people and presented them with common daily questions from many families. Since in this practice the students have been widely involved in a discussion about their consumers posture, establishing a relationship of critical awareness, forming a new vision as citizens, bringing to their daily practice this learning.
