摘要:The teaching of Mathematics in the context of the Mathematical Olympiads in Brazil
constitutes a context of research still little considered, with particular interest in the teaching and
the learning phenomena. In Brazil, we identified a large number of teachers and students who do
not participate in official math competitions, such as the Brazilian Olympiads of Mathematics of
Public Schools (OBMEP). On the other hand, it is important to implement didactic resources that
allow other forms of didactic transposition to the mathematical knowledge addressed for the
Olympic Problems (OP). In this way, the present work presents and introduces the notion of
Olympic Didactical Situation (ODS), from a perspective of didactic transposition necessary for the
teacher, who must transmit the mathematical knowledge characteristic of the Mathematical
Olympiads to the greatest possible number of students. Thus, visualization becomes a primordial
element to approximate and transmit intuitive and heuristic notions present in a set of three
Olympic Problems (OP) discussed throughout the text.
