O uso de jogos como estratégia lúdica para ensino da probabilidade

Abstract

This research aimed to analyze the use of playful teaching strategies of Probability for high school classes. To this end, a written test with questions on the subject of Probability was applied in two classes of the third year of teaching at a private school in the city of João Pessoa, Paraíba state, where each class had an average of 35 students, with age group between 16 and 17 years. To perform the comparative method regarding the results of content utilization, the traditional method for explanation of the content was applied in one of the classes and for the other class, the playful method through games was used, in order to teach the students about Probability. In both classes, three classes were held to explain the content. Through data collection, it was proposed a comparison between traditional teaching and the use of playful strategy through games in the Probability classes. The use of playful mathematics, through games, was conceived as a positive point for understanding and taking advantage of the content addressed. This result is the opening of the possibility of inserting new practices and meanings in the teaching-learning process, which can easily be used in line with traditional teaching, generating dynamism and interaction in the classroom.
