contents In the context of physics didactics, alternative instructional approaches have often been employed to facilitate conceptual understanding of various topics. In this article, an alternative formulation for analyzing the motion of bodies on inclined planes is presented, based on Galileo's experimental rule involving multiples of odd numbers. According to this, bodies traverse distances that increase in odd multiples of an initial amount during successive equal time intervals. In the proposed formulation, a function is established between distance, whether ascending or descending, and time, omitting the use of Newtonian concepts such as velocity, acceleration, or force. The theoretical exploration of this formulation may provide significant didactical benefits, offering scenarios for discussion and reflection in physics didactics.
