RESUMO:

An educational mathematical modeling application to a group of high school students is presented as a form of intervention in order to verify the improvement in the understanding of measurement units and conversions. We tried to understand if the mathematical modeling of the air conditioner water collection can be used in an active and meaningful way to address the learning issues of measurement unit transformations. Being a qualitative research, this work had the meetings with the students in a virtual way and counted on the protagonism for them to develop the experimentation in their homes. Through this activity, the students were able to work on a project that dealt with social and environmental situations and built a mathematical model to calculate the amount of water that the air conditioners in their homes and at school are capable of producing per day. After building the model, they were able to determine the size of the reservoir needed, also working with the daily consumption of water at the school, enabling the construction of knowledge acquired through discovery. The analysis of the result of the research development was obtained through the application of a pre-test and, after the application of experimentation and mathematical modeling, a post-test via an online form. The average of correct answers in the pre-test was 2.57 points when the average in the post-test was 8.29 points out of 10 possible. The methodology used showed positive results when comparing the results of the pre-test with the post-test, suggesting that there was an improvement in the understanding of the content of measurement units by students, actors of the action.
