O Jogo de Discos no Ensino de Probabilidade: um relato de experiência no 9º ano do Ensino Fundamental

Abstract

Contemporary education has an investigative bias, focused on the practical resolution of problems, and the teaching of Mathematics seeks methodologies that engage the student, such as didactic games, which allow for the collective construction of knowledge. This article presents a qualitative study, in the form of an experience report, on the application of the Discs Game with 9th-grade elementary school students. The objective was to analyze how the activity contributes to the learning of probability concepts, including random experiments, sample space, and dependent/independent events. The intervention consisted of a didactic sequence in which the students built boards and tossed coins to analyze results, representing probabilities in fractional, decimal, and percentage forms. The results indicate that the proposal increased the class's engagement and favored the conceptual understanding of probability in a playful and meaningful way.
