O uso do jogo dos discos voltado para o ensino de introdução à probabilidade

Abstract

The present work is an experience report of an unpublished class whose main theme was the use of the disc game aimed at teaching the introduction to probability. The main objective of the class was to analyze whether the use of the game of discs is capable of helping in the introductory teaching of probability to the students of the Cônego school. According to the PCNs (1997), dissatisfaction with negative results in Mathematics teaching is due to difficulties in understanding the concepts used in this discipline. Therefore, the game emerges as a tool to assist the teacher in teaching, and the use of the disk game as a method to introduce probability. Regarding the research, it is of the exploratory descriptive type, using a qualitative and quantitative approach, characterizing a case study. The subjects were students in the 2nd grade of high school and used mixed questionnaires and classroom observations as a research instrument. The results show that the students liked the disk game and enabled them to be able to respond to problem situations. It was concluded that this practice should be more addressed in the classroom, and that this innovation allowed students to remember the content and advance in probability.
