Abstract

In the list of researches that focus on Mathematics Education, it focuses on didactic possibilities for the teaching of this discipline. An alternative presented in national studies is the construction of an interface between history and mathematics teaching developed by Saito and Dias (2013). In this article, he appropriated the line of numbers elaborated by Edmund Gunter (1581 – 1626) presented in the treatise The description and vse of the Sector, the Crosse-staffe, and other instruments, for such as are studious of Mathematicall practise published in 1623 for building an interface. Thus, the objective was to analyze the mathematical knowledge mobilized in an applied activity with undergraduates in Mathematics from the handling of the scale of numbers. As a methodology, the Theory of Objectification (OT) was used and for the data analysis, the semiotic analysis indicated by the TO was fitted. The results obtained revolve around different mathematical knowledge mobilized and articulated with each other. It is concluded that the mobilization of knowledge such as logarithm, mediatrix and geometric construction took place from the activity carried out.
