Abstract

The present work reports the experience of the Biological Sciences course at the Federal University of Tocantins/UFT- Campus Porto Nacional, in the Technological Innovation Program, working with the theme "garbage in our daily life" to develop logical-mathematical questions (relation of numbers , graphs, tables, etc) in the academics of the course and raising awareness about environmental conservation.  The work carried out was totally remote, a tool was developed to weigh the organic waste (gr) and the inorganic waste was quantified per unit (plastic; paper; metal; and glass). Data collection was carried out for a month, in the home of 6 students from the first period of the course, and the results were organized and analyzed using descriptive statistics. Regarding inorganic waste, 1130 items were collected and the most quantified categories were plastic (52.12%) and paper (34.96%). For organic matter, 62 kg of food residues were weighed. The results highlight the great potential for waste production in homes and the importance of raising awareness about the possibilities of recycling and/or selective collection. These results were worked with students of the first period, stimulating the understanding of mathematical tools in Biology, as well as critical thinking about selective collection.
