O ensino de probabilidade por meio do jogo dos discos

Abstract

This paper presents an alternative for the teaching of probability for the final years of the Elementary School or High School through the game of discs. The study is based on the assumptions of Game Theory, which is believed to offers means for the development of critical mathematical thinking through the active action of the student who becomes the protagonist of his own educational process, and the teacher is seen as the mediator of this process. The probability present in the game of discs, can be taught as introduction, fixation or even evaluation for the subjects. The game resolution is presented using other parameters that allows the teacher to teach and/or rescue concepts of geometry and probability.
