O uso da tecnologia móvel para o ensino de matemática com foco em aplicativos para smartphones e tablets, de modo que auxilie o aluno de educação a distancia (ead).

Abstract

The world finds itself in a new "Industrial Revolution," a modern, contemporary revolution in which the need for instruction communicates with the latest Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) and contrasts with the available time. In the midst of these problems, a new teaching modality emerged, a new model emerged to meet the new needs in which the "new students" are already inserted in the labor market and do not have time to take a traditional classroom model, or do not have close institutions, so that students can have the same level of education, democratization of education. Distance Education (EAD) has ramifications that defines it; such as ou which are using electronic devices, e-learning and inherent in it, mobile learning. The new technologies such as Smartphones and Tablets, mobile learning, Mobile Learning (M-Learning), which configure a new model for transmission of learning through Distance Education (EAD), becoming the solution for students who need a degree, postgraduate, doctorate or even an improvement in their business functions. The work has dual objectives, first is to define and to understand this new phenomenon, education at a distance, at the higher level, and to establish it, second is to define how new technologies, Smartphones and Tablets, can help and favor students and faculty in the transmission of educational content more specifically the contents that involve the discipline of Mathematics, through applications, exemplifying and defining its characteristics, and software, the "old applications", for computers, computer operating systems.
