- Abstract
The proposed program focused on using narratives in teaching mathematics for high school students, with the aim of guiding them in choosing university studies. The methodology integrated stories and contextualized examples to facilitate the understanding of mathematical concepts and connect them with real-life and professional situations. With the participation of 12 high school students, 8 parents, and 4 active professionals, the program included activities based on real-life scenarios in fields such as engineering, science, and economics, to demonstrate the applicability of mathematics in various professions. The motivation behind this approach stems from the need to guide undecided students about their academic future, addressing the disconnect between mathematical learning and its practical application. Previous research indicates that contextualization of mathematics improves student interest and motivation, as well as helping them visualize potential careers. The program aimed not only to enrich mathematical learning but also to inspire students to consider careers related to mathematics, thus fostering a more informed and motivated choice of university studies.
