SUMMARY:

Mathematics education is a major challenge to both teachers and students. Notorious obstacles can be found in different education levels. In order to lower such struggles in learning, the present work aims to investigate in which way the use of physical materials helps the process of developing knowledge for middle school students. To do so, i present, firstly, a brief historical description in humankind with special attention to numeral systems and combinatorial analysis.  Furthermore, i approach a study that reflects on the curriculum projects, especially combinatorial analysis, to middle school's math teaching. In this sense, we discuss how mathematics appears in official documents:  the Brazilian National Curriculum Parameters (ParâmetrosCurricularesNacionais - PCN) and the Brazilian Common Curricular Parameters (Base NacionalComum Curricular - BNCC). Additionally, i discuss the concepts and implications of language study. My intention is to understand how language contributes to the process of knowledge construction of combinatorial thinking. On this perspective, i debate on the definition of math literacy and brazilian students performance in Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) 2018. Aiming to strengthen the debate on how to diminish the difficulties in the process of teaching-learning mathematics, i discuss the importance of investing in research related to teaching combinatorial analysis, hoping that using physical materials significantly contributes to comprehending important mathematical concepts to the development of students. In this perspective, in the bet that using a concrete methodology for the teaching of combinatorial analysis contributes significantly to the understanding of mathematical concepts, important for the development of students, three activities were applied: Criando Emojis, Trabalhando com os números and Minecraft, which made it possible to elaborate the creation of a guide book for teachers as a product of this dissertation. Finally, it was possible to infer that the use of concrete materials, in addition to motivating the student, contributes to a closer relationship between teacher-student and student-student, in addition to contributing to a better understanding of the concepts related to combinatorial analysis.
