A Criptografia no ensino fundamental e médio

Abstract

In this work, we embarked for examining the use of the cryptography in teaching mathematics in fundamental levels and East by performing examples of practical use of the mathematical content of the curriculum base of basic education as a form of amplitude of mathematical paths display in the teaching process learning with the school environment. The study of this work begins with the elucidation of the major historical events that contributed to the development of cryptography and technologies as we know them today. During the work forms of code letters construction are presented by encrypting the use of mathematical knowledges. All this has as main broader anchor point to build a meaning of some mathematical content that are often presented in raw form and without any attraction that motivate students to develop knowledge around what is taught. Finally, to address the main applications of cryptography that are presented in our day to day and often do not see its importance, nor do we see all the mathematical universe that exists behind a simple message sent from one device to another.
