Abstract

This work describes and analyzes a sequence of teaching that starts from the investigation of a physical phenomenon, the radioactive decay, to propitiate the learning of a mathematical content: the exponential function. In this perspective, we explore an example of integrating the learning processes of physics and mathematics. We present evidence that, in our opinion, corroborates the NCPs' assertion that this articulation does not confuse or merge the disciplinary status of the sciences involved
 proposal for interdisciplinarity. In addition, the experience reported here shows that the adoption of a contextualized teaching proposal as advocated in NCPs does not imply abandoning traditional didactic content, that is, content that "falls into the university entrance examination".
