Jogo dos discos na aprendizagem: uma experimentação de trajetória hipotética em probabilidade

Abstract

The aim of Mathematics Education is to show ways of better understanding topics and content that we use on a daily basis, but which on many occasions, whether theoretical or practical, we are unable to contextualize, as well as the difficulty mathematics teachers have in working with their classes on the ideas of probability in everyday life. Therefore, this article aims to describe an experimental lesson carried out with students from the 1st grade of secondary school at the Colégio Adventista de Luís Eduardo Magalhães, using the theme of the “Disc Game”, explored during the course of the Specialization in Mathematics: Matem@tica na Pr@tica, from the point of view of probabilities, to define paths, investigate possible consequences and evaluate other uses. This proposal is based on the model of mathematical investigation and meaningful learning. In the end, our students were able to realize that probability goes hand in hand with every citizen, and that consequences can arise from their choices.
