OBMEP at School brings together 160 teachers in Florianópolis.

Evento acontece nos dias 10 e 11 de novembro

When designing a mathematical problem, it is necessary to think about how to motivate students to see numbers as issues to be worked on and solved. To make teaching more attractive and encourage the exchange of knowledge, mathematics teachers from all over the country have been meeting since Sunday (10), in Florianópolis (SC), to participate in the OBMEP at School Program.

Conducted by IMPA with the support of the Brazilian Mathematical Society, the program's main goal is to assist in the training of public school teachers through in-depth studies and the exchange of experiences in schools. The idea is to promote meetings between award-winning professionals from OBMEP and teachers through courses and lectures.

Professores buscam tornar o ensino mais atrativo

Eduardo Wagner, Master in Mathematics from IMPA and professor at Fundação Getúlio Vargas, gave the opening lecture on Sunday. The program also includes professors from the Federal Fluminense University (UFF), the Federal University of Minas Gerais (UFMG), the University of São José dos Campos (UFSCAR) and the Institute of Mathematics of the University of São Paulo (IME-USP). Until the end of this Monday (11), the speakers will address geometric issues, topics related to Algebra and systems, as well as discuss methodologies that encourage student participation in classes.

Mais de cem professores participaram do evento

The next edition of OBMEP at School will take place between March and September 2020. Qualified and selected teachers will receive a monthly allowance to carry out the activities. Registration closed at the end of June .
