Mathematical Modeling, Traffic Education
This work deals with the study of mathematics applied in the investigation at the scene of a traffic accident, aiming at the inclusion of Traffic Education in the curricular components of basic education, in favor of traffic safety for all. The work is divided as follows: the first chapter deals with the importance of safe traffic on our roads and the social role of each individual in this context, the role of traffic forensics, which carries out investigative analyzes of the technical elements found and uses mathematical calculations involving kinematic parameters aiming at the materialization of the proofs, and traffic statistics, which point to the man as the causative agent in most accidents on brazilian roads, which justifies the need for Traffic Education actions. In the second chapter, we work on the mathematical modeling of some types of accidents, specifically those that can be treated with high school physics and mathematics. The third chapter proposes activities to be developed with GeoGebra applications, where it is expected that cognitive development will occur that establishes relationships between the physical-mathematical contents covered, so that students become protagonists of their own learning, by placing themselves in the role of traffic accident experts.
