Desenvolvimento de recursos interativos em Python para o ensino de trigonometria no ensino médio

Abstract

This study explores the integration of the Python programming language into the teaching of trigonometry in High School, focusing on the law of sines and the law of cosines, based on the principles of computational thinking and Constructionism. The research, qualitative and exploratory in nature, developed Python scripts to automate trigonometric calculations and an interactive digital platform hosted on Google Sites, using the Trinket environment to embed the algorithms. The process included: (1) a literature review on computational thinking and its connection to mathematics education; (2) iterative coding of the algorithms, emphasizing mathematical validation and error handling; (3) pedagogical adaptation of the content to enhance accessibility. The study concludes that the proposal offers a replicable model for teachers, transforming abstract formulas into interactive tools.
