Aritmética dos restos: jogos e aplicações para o ensino

Abstract

This work aims to present, in an introductory manner, the concept of Arithmetic of Remainders, or Modular Arithmetic, highlighting the importance of this area in our daily lives. To achives this, we will discuss some fundamental concepts that underlie this field. Furthermore, we will explore the historical context highlighting the main civilizations and mathematicians who contributed to the development at this area. We will demonstrate how the arithmetic of remainders appears in our lives through various applications, and we will conclude this work with games that utilize and are based on the arithmetic of remainders, which can be used in the basic education.
