THE USE OF MANIM FOR TEACHING MATHEMATICS IN HIGH SCHOOLS

Computer animation. Python. Manim.

This research explores the Manim library as a didactic resource in mathematical teaching. The work developed comprises a contextualization on the role of computer animations in math education, based on the guidelines of the BNCC and related documents that emphasize the importance of the critical and creative use of computational resources in learning. The fundamentals of Python programming and the Manim library are introduced, emphasizing their potential for creating mathematical animations. The relevance of integrating computational thinking into mathematical teaching is also discussed, especially with regard to visualization and resolution of problems from external assessments, such as SAEPE. The product of this dissertation is a set of animations, organized in an online repository, enabling teachers to apply and/or adapt their codes for classroom use, thus producing visual and dynamic materials that foster conceptual understanding and active student participation in the learning process.
