O jogo "Can't Stop" como ferramenta pedagógica para o ensino e aprendizagem da probabilidade

Abstract

This article discusses and promotes a teaching and learning tool, initially designed for teaching probability to students facing difficulties in grasping fundamental concepts. Teaching mathematics can be challenging for the teacher due to various circumstances, impacting the student's ability to develop logical and rational skills, such as decision-making in specific practical contexts, facilitated by probability itself. The game “Can’t Stop” emerges as a significant tool in the learning process, especially for students struggling with concepts in this area. To assess the effectiveness of this approach, this work proposes an analysis of using this resource as a crucial pedagogical support in mathematical development and creating an environment conducive to absorbing the necessary. knowledge. The research was conducted in the city of Cocal - PI, at a high school, with second-year students. Questionnaires and a practical class involving the game were administered. The results highlight the learning of fundamental probability concepts, logical development, and the ability to make decisions in probabilistic circumstances. Therefore, it is possible to understand how probability can be approached through a supportive tool for learning its concepts, contributing to the construction of logical and rational knowledge inherent in the student's education and promoting a productive and satisfactory class
