Acesso em: .https://bdm.ufpa.br/handle/prefix/10481The lack of a connection between the mathematics taught in the classroom and students' daily lives remains a characteristic of instruction in basic education. Mathematical modeling emerges as an alternative approach that bridges mathematics and the student's reality, offering benefits to the teaching and learning process. This study aims to demonstrate the relevance of mathematical modeling in basic education, specifically highlighting its contributions to teaching, learning, and student development. Furthermore, it seeks to identify the challenges associated with implementing mathematical modeling in schools. Through qualitative research, this study conducted a bibliographic review, followed by a discursive textual analysis of the findings. The resulting categories and subcategories indicate that mathematical modeling facilitates teaching and learning, awakens and stimulates student skills, and empowers students to take an active role in constructing their own knowledge. Mathematical modeling provides meaning to the mathematics studied in the classroom and can contribute to transforming how students perceive and engage with the world. This is made possible when teachers adjust their approach to incorporate students' daily lives and interests into mathematics instruction. Nevertheless, mathematical modeling is not yet firmly established in basic education, as there are challenges linked to teacher training and the prevailing educational system. The study concludes that mathematical modeling is potentially beneficial and transformative, making its integration into schools essential. While challenges exist, they can be navigated through teacher courage and adaptation; furthermore, it is crucial for the school system to become more open and flexible to foster the presence of this practice in basic education.Acesso AbertoModelagem matemáticaEnsino fundamentalEducação básicaMathematical modelingElementary educationBasic educationCNPQ::CIENCIAS HUMANAS::EDUCACAO::ENSINO-APRENDIZAGEM::METODOS E TECNICAS DE ENSINOTrabalho de Curso - Graduação - Monografia
