The present study discusses the use of play activities as a facilitator in the teachinglearning
process of Mathematics, in particular, a game of cards as a review activity in the
teaching of Combinatorial Analysis and Probability. Activities such as games, challenges
and others are fundamental so that the student can learn effectively and satisfactorily
some contents of Mathematics, since the taste for this discipline is not unanimous for
the students. For this, the use of games activities is an important tool to motivate and
assist in the study of this matter. In order to clarify the influence of this mathematical
game on the student’s development during the teaching-learning process, in this study
we used a game of cards at the Hercília Carvalho da Silva State School, located in the
Municipality of Gurupi-TO. This paper reports on the application of a game involving
letters that was applied in the second year of high school in a period of two months as
a way of demonstrating the potential of playful activity as an innovative methodology
of pedagogical actions, seeking more diversified classes to conduct The students involved
in this group to a significant learning in the contents of Combinatorial Analysis and
Probability. Later, a questionnaire was applied to the group of students, with eleven
multiple choice questions, activity (research - questionnaire) was performed on March 14,
2017, during the Mathematics class. From the collected data, it was possible to verify that
the application of the card game facilitates the understanding of the students in reference
to the Matters of Combinatorial Analysis and Probability, which would not be entirely
possible only with theoretical exposition and lists of exercises. The research, regarding the
procedures, delineates as a field and data collection. Regarding the objectives, it was based
on the descriptive and exploratory study, focusing on identifying the perception that the
student has about the content of Combinatorial Analysis and Probability through a game
of cards as an activity to review, deepen or motivate the study of these contents.
