O ensino de probabilidade nos anos iniciais: olhares a partir dos documentos oficiais e dos livros didáticos do PNLD

Abstract

Mathematics, until today, is considered by many as abstract and full of meaningless concepts. However, what many may not know, and what has been revealed over the years, is how it is so present in the lives of human beings. The way how mathematical concepts are presented in the classes contribute significantly to the the opinion that is formed about this area of knowledge. The resources employed to achieve this goal is important too. Probability is one of the many contents with total connection to people's daily lives. Knowing how it has been taught over the years in the classroom is such important for understanding of mathematics education. In this way, the present work intends to verify how the teaching of Probability occurs in Elementary School, through the analysis of collections of textbooks approved by the National Textbook Plan - PNLD 2019, the analysis of textbooks BARDIN (1979), and also analysis of the scientific productions which contained this subject and how the official documents approach it.
