Exploring Geometric Probability in the Classroom with GeoGebra

Abstract

Probability is treated in Basic Education, most of the time, according to the Laplacian approach. Considering that several researchers report the difficulty presented by students in learning probability, this work is based on the idea that the exploration of probability through other approaches can allow a better understanding of probabilistic contents by a greater number of students. Therefore, this article aims to describe a didactic proposal for Basic Education that deals with probability under the geometric approach. This proposal involves the development of interactive activities through the GeoGebra software and allows the approach of probabilistic and geometric contents allied. The results obtained show the possibility of combining technology, probability and geometry, over the years of Basic Education, enhancing the learning of Probability.
