Aplicando uma sequência didática contendo o jogo dos discos para o ensino e aprendizagem da probabilidade por meio da experimentação

Abstract

In this research, the experiment “O Jogo dos Discos” is applied through the creation of a didactic sequence with seven activities inspired by the book “O Jogo dos Discos: Modulo 1” by Paulo Antônio Silvani Caetano and Roberto Ribeiro Paterlini. In the didactic sequence, the activities have questions that were created in order to develop concepts of random or non-random events, sample space, calculation of simple and complementary probability and propose to the students the comparison between the experiment carried out on a small and large scale, through the analysis of the variations of probabilities between them, as well as presenting applications and a historical overview of the origin of probability studies. The research presented here is of an investigative bibliographic and field character, with a descriptive qualitative approach, developed with students from three classes of the 2nd year of high school at a school in the state of São Paulo. The use of a didactic sequence different from the traditional one allows the teacher - researcher and author to identify, when applying the activities that make up this didactic sequence, the knowledge developed through different strategies such as comics, history of mathematics and the game as an experiment in itself. applied in a school environment, in order to highlight potentialities and points of attention regarding the (re)formulation of questions and even the way of proceeding during the application of the didactic sequence. and, above all, inspire other teachers to use this didactic sequence as a resource in the classroom.
