Uso da criptografia como motivação para o ensino básico de matemática

Abstract

The objective of this paper is to present a context in which mathematics can be glimpsed in a more attractive and dynamic way. For this, succinct but regular knowledge will be presented to the basic understanding of cryptography. We will cite examples of gures and how some of them work, in addition to some de nitions, theorems and demonstrations on topics such as divisibility, congruence, functions and arrays. Finally, we will make suggestions of a set of activities that provide the interconnection of mathematical and daily knowledge of the student, since this combination is an attractive factor for a better assimilation of content. However, the teacher has the insight to make choices and to judge what he thinks it's most interesting.
