The present research brings an experience report of a minicourse developed by scholarship
students of the Programa Institucional de Bolsas de Iniciação à Docência (PIBID) from the
Degree Course in Mathematics and Physics (LIMF) of the Universidade Federal do Oeste do
Pará (UFOPA) entitled "Introdução ao método de indução matemática”. The minicourse had
the objective of introducing the method of demonstration by induction based on a
contextualized activity called "Enigma dos Cavalos" and, from there, to formalize the method
algebraically. With the participation of 12 students from the LIMF course, the minicourse
could provide a more holistic view of a demonstration by induction and that also provided the
rescue of other mathematical concepts, such as functions and arithmetic progressions.
