Mathix : uma ferramenta técnico-tecnológica para práticas do ensino de matemática com matrizes

Abstract

Teaching mediated by interactive elements on digital platforms aims to promote student engagement and assist teaching practice. In this context, the Mathix tool was developed to address the recurring difficulties in teaching matrices, related to mathematical abstraction and the lack of interactive resources in traditional methods. Digital educational technologies have shown potential to make learning more dynamic, accessible and aligned with new technological demands, contributing to more inclusive teaching. Mathix offers an intuitive and user-friendly interface, allowing the use of interactive exercises and visual resources that help teachers explore and manipulate matrices in a practical way that is integrated with theoretical learning. The development methodology included a literature review on the teaching of matrices and the use of educational technologies, as well as interviews with teachers to identify the main difficulties faced in teaching this subject. After development, the application was tested with teachers, using questionnaires to evaluate its effectiveness, interface and user experience before and after using the tool. The aim is to consolidate Mathix as an innovative resource for teaching matrices, promoting greater engagement and learning through the integration of interactive and technological practices.
