Aprimorando o ensino de probabilidade no 9º ano: o Jogo dos discos como ferramenta educacional

Abstract

This research aims to evaluate how the use of the Disk Game in math classes can contribute to teaching and learning probability in 9th grade of elementary school. The theoretical foundation is based on authors who discuss experimentation and the use of tiling in math classes. The methodology employed in this study follows a qualitative approach, as the research problem was investigated through descriptive and explanatory analysis of the meanings expressed by the participants. The research was conducted in a 9th grade class at a public school in the state education network of Bahia. Data collection occurred through a field survey of a descriptive nature. The analysis was carried out based on the Disk Game, according to the responses given by each student who participated in this research and also the previously administered questionnaire. The main results highlight the importance of this research, showing that the use of the Disk Game for teaching geometric probability is effective and demonstrated greater comprehension, attention, and interest from students, potentially serving as an excellent educational tool for teaching mathematics
