O uso dos jogos de discos como suporte para o ensino da probabilidade

Abstract

In this work we present an alternative to the use of disc games in teaching Probability for High School. The study is based on the assumptions of Game Theory, in which it is believed that such theory offers means for the development of critical mathematical thinking through the active action of the student who becomes the protagonist of his own educational process, and the teacher is seen as mediator of this process. The Probability present in the game of discs can be developed as an introduction of content, fixation or evaluation. In this approach, the methodology presented here follows a qualitative approach, since the research problem to be investigated suggests a descriptive and explanatory analysis of the meanings expressed by the subjects involved in this research. Next, we have the data collected through the research, since the results were tabulated and analyzed descriptively in accordance with the proposed objectives. Therefore, the analysis and interpretation of data aims to understand the meanings of the content studied in relation to the data collected, establishing a network of relationships between the theoretical framework and the data based on field research, with the background the subject categories that will permeate the entire analysis.
