| Abstract (English): | Mathematical tasks (TM) are present in teaching materials and are widely used by teachers. They come in various types and serve different purposes during class. The study aimed to understand the role of TM proposed by textbooks (LD) for teaching Probability in the 6th grade of Middle School, as approved by the PNLD 2024. Using a qualitative approach, thirteen collections were examined, identifying the number of TM on Probability and analyzing the potential (or lack thereof) of some of them. The results reveal the predominance of TM with low cognitive demand, with a scarce presence of open proposals and an absence of investigative TM. The analysis highlights conceptual and methodological gaps that limit the development of students' probabilistic literacy. As a result, there is a need to reconfigure the tasks in the textbooks, with greater emphasis on contextualized and investigative proposals. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
| Abstract (Spanish): | Las tareas matemáticas (TM) están presentes en los materiales didácticos y son ampliamente utilizadas por los docentes. Son de diversos tipos y tienen propósitos distintos durante la clase. El estudio tuvo como objetivo comprender el papel de las TM propuestas por libros de texto (LD) para la enseñanza de la Probabilidad en el 6º grado de la Enseñanza Fundamental, aprobados en el PNLD 2024. A través de un enfoque cualitativo, se examinaron trece colecciones, identificando la cantidad de TM relacionadas con la Probabilidad y analizando el potencial (o su ausencia) de algunos ejemplos seleccionados. Los resultados revelan una predominancia de TM de baja demanda cognitiva, con escasa presencia de propuestas abiertas y ausencia de TM investigativas. El análisis evidencia lagunas conceptuales y metodológicas que limitan el desarrollo del alfabetismo probabilístico de los estudiantes. Como resultado, se identifica la necesidad de reconfigurar las tareas en los LD, con mayor énfasis en propuestas contextualizadas e investigativas. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
