The spread of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, which causes Covid-19, is mathematically
modeled through a compartimental contagion model of the SIR (Susceptible-
Infected-Removed) type, which depends on a system of differential equations.
Therefore, this work aims to present a discretization of differential equations and
apply them to the population of the state of Rio Grande do Norte with the purpose
of analyzing and understanding their behavior. To this end, Excel spreadsheet
software was used to calculate the numerical data of its propagation as well
as the graphs that describe the numerical variation of the model compartments.
During the process, mathematical modeling is necessary and in view of this,
mathematical modeling was used as a technique to support the teaching of
mathematics in basic education. At the end of the work, a lesson guide will be
presented with the aim of guiding teachers who wish to use this technique in
their classes.
