Uma contribuição para o ensino de probabilidade na educação básica

Abstract

In this work, we present a proposal for teaching Probability in Basic Education, aiming to contribute to the teaching practice in the classroom. For this purpose, we provided a description of the historical construction and conceptual definition of probability function, and we offered teachers didactic proposals through the development of workshops and activities. The motivation behind choosing this topic is that, despite being included in the documents guiding education in the country, the teaching of Probability is not effectively happening in Basic Education, often because elementary school teachers do not feel prepared or have not received adequate training for it, and the textbooks are frequently of unsatisfactory quality.
