Abstract

This article presents a teaching experience that encourages adherence to the use of Olympiad Problems in the classroom, aiming at learning and inclusion of the deaf. In the particular case of this work, we suggest two statements present in the questions of the Kangaroo Math Competition Brazil 2023. The objective of this work is to present a teaching experience on the themes percentage and area of plane figures associated with Geometry, through two problems of the Kangaroo Math Competition with the contribution of GeoGebra. For this, we used the Didactic Engineering as a research methodology. The didactic situations were elaborated based on the Theory of Didactic Situations and from the concept of Olympic Didactic Situation and were structured with GeoGebra. The association of Olympic Problems to GeoGebra enabled students to build knowledge, from a visual perception and manipulation of the software, as well as the inclusion of deaf students, providing him with the development of mathematical knowledge. Thus, the results obtained were positive, in addition to providing readers with a reflection on the teaching of mathematics, the use of Olympic problems and software for its teaching, as well as the inclusion of deaf students and their mathematical learning.
