RESUMO:

Sometimes it is difficult to illustrate the importance of mathematics to high school
students, especially when dealing with fundamental concepts, used only to estab-
lish a certain mathematical theory. The lack of clarity when trying to relate a
mathematical theory with its applications usualy discourages students, who end
up losing interest on relevant topics to our daily lives, such as mathematical logic.
This gets worse when the teacher decides to adopt traditional teaching approaches,
considered tedious by students overall. A much more promising strategy employs
computer softwares that allow to construct dynamic simulations of mathematical
problems in a very intuitive way. Still, this does not allow students to have concrete
experiences, so important during the whole teaching-learning process. Besides stim-
ulating students’ curiosity, engagement, interest in science, autonomy and the ability
to communicate and express their ideas, such concrete activities allow to establish
a direct link with the real world. In this context, it is proposed a didactic sequence
for teaching mathematical logic fundamentals through practices where students can
construct and debug their own digital logic circuits. The sequence is divided into
three modules, sorted in ascending order of difficulty. This work offers to the high
school teacher a complementary teaching proposal that promotes active teaching
and evoke student skills of observation, investigation, reflection e desision making,
in accordance with the basic principles of the Brazilian common core state stan-
dards. It emphasizes that the field of Mathematics behaves like a lively science that
contributes to solve real world problems and forms the foundation of humanity’s
most influential discoveries.
