The movement of researches in Mathematical Modelling in Minas Gerais – Brazil

Abstract

This article presents a theoretical study that aims to make the state of the art scientific production in mathematical modelling in the context of mathematics education in Minas Gerais (Brazil). Our research sought to tread the paths of Modeling research in the Minas Gerais State, having the national context of research in mathematical modelling as a backdrop, by means of a qualitative and quantitative survey. Our research revealed a state of low relative to the current time of mineira research in mathematical modeling. This state of the art reflects some trends and present perspectives on the national scene. On the other hand, we perceive certain specifics that show that mineira modeling does not only reflect national trends, but that also assumes its own identity.
