Teoria de partições dos números inteiros: uma proposta didática utilizando matéria-prima da Amazônia

Abstract

This work aims to present an elementary approach to the theory of integer partitions, a topic commonly studied at the university level. The theory has various applications, notably in physics, especially in statistical mechanics. Based on classical results and using concrete materials, we propose a didactic sequence that seeks to consolidate students’ prior knowledge while fostering the development of new mathematical skills and competencies. The proposal aims to facilitate understanding of the topic through a gradual organization of content, contributing to a more effective and meaningful learning experience.
