TITLE:

AN ANALYSIS OF PROBABILITY AND STATISTICS ISSUES IN BRAZILIAN OLYMPIC MATHEMATICS OF PUBLIC SCHOOLS (OBMEP)

KEY WORDS:

Probability. Statistic. OBMEP. National Common Curriculum Base.
Mathematical Competencies

PAGES: 142
BIG AREA: Ciências Exatas e da Terra
AREA: Matemática
SUMMARY:

The conditions inherent to the contemporary technological world have demanded from citizens
more and more knowledge and capacities for abstraction and analysis. All this raises the
importance of Mathematics Education in general and, more specifically, of Statistics Education.
The latter enables the individual to make better decisions in situations involving uncertainty.
Among the academic mechanisms adopted to encourage mathematics education, the Mathematics
Olympiads stand out. They originated in Hungary in 1894 and in Brazil in 1979. In particular,
the Brazilian Public School Mathematics Olympiad (OBMEP) was created in 2005 with the
aim of encouraging the study of mathematics and identifying talents in the area. It is a national
project whose target audience is basic education students, from the 6th year of elementary school
onwards. In its current format, OBMEP is aimed at Brazilian public and private schools. In order
to seek evidence of the importance attributed to Statistical Education in the OBMEP exams, this
work seeks to analyze issues related to Probability and Statistics. Although there are already
works with a similar theme, they do not bring the teaching of probability and statistics from the
perspective of the skills to be developed together with the students and that are included in the
National Common Curricular Base (BNCC) for the solution of these problems, as well as they
do not discuss a path solution, from definitions, axioms and theorems. The questions analyzed
were those of the 1st and 2nd stage tests from 2005 to 2019, establishing a parallel with the
basic education content necessary for the student to solve the issue at hand. The contributions
in relation to the existing literature are then: (i) the emphasis on the perspective brought by the
BNCC (with regard to skills related to Probability and Statistics), (ii) an analytical treatment
(from the frequency with which each one of them is required in the OBMEP) and (iii) systematic
(from the discussion of a generic way of developing solutions), allowing to glimpse points of
improvement. The methodology was based on bibliographic and documental research, of a
qualitative and quantitative nature, with a descriptive study.
