Manifestations Work-Related Musculoskeletal Disorders (WRMSDs) in the workplace have been of concern, as its growth has forced the society to deal with this problem high economic impact due to the significant increase in the number of absences related to work. After diagnosis and removal, the INSS medical expert, according to conditions / worker capabilities, forwards it to the Vocational Rehabilitation Program INSS, which should provide the means of professional and social rehabilitation, according to the Federal Constitution. However, the difficulties of the Ministry of Social Security in return method of workers away by WRMSDs has been the subject of discussion. This study aimed to understand of the process of return to the employee's work away for WRMSDs, through the activity of ergonomics, focusing on the need for interaction between business, labor and INSS. The methodology was designed / led by a return to work flow chart created by the researcher from the model of inclusion of people with disabilities of Simonelli (2009). The methodology consisted initially of approval of UFSCar's Ethics Committee for the collection and analysis of data in the four companies that agreed to participate, and Term of Consent of workers. For data collection, the workers were interviewed, underwent evaluation capacity for work, from protocols and core set of ICF and were followed in jobs for systematic observation and understanding of the activity, as a presupposition of ergonomics activity. In the study of different cases it was found that the activities analyzed show that the removal station for reintegration post significant changes. Some study companies have a program for approaching the worker in the period of clearance. The professional courses offered by the INSS, mostly do not meet the requirements of the tasks of the companies, therefore, do not help the worker in the process of returning to work. The worker who returns clearance, is generally placed in the position that the company chooses, since it seeks to meet the restrictions that the Vocational Rehabilitation Program prescribes. However, this does not help you during the process of reintegration and skilled professionals of the company did not accompany him regularly. With the observed situations, it is concluded that the actual return depends on the joint work of these three social actors (company, employee and Vocational Rehabilitation), which complement each other, including analysis of activity in the stations selection process for inclusion, aiming discussions generate fruits that benefit workers and, consequently, companies and the INSS.

Alternaria Brown Spot (ABS), caused by Alernaria alternata a fungus which produces a host specific toxin (HST), is a disease of huge importance in mandarin orchards in many producing regions in the world. The selection of varieties resistant to disease is of great economic importance. In this study different hybrids of citrus were evaluated. These hybrids were obtained by directed crosses and preselected by agronomic characteristics that make them potential new varieties of oranges and mandarins, for industry or fresh fruit. The evaluation of these new genotypes is an essential step for the release of new varieties. Seventy-nine hybrids and their parents were subjected to inoculation with an isolated from A. alternaria in detached leaves and plant assays. The severity of disease was measured by the scale described in the literature. The evaluation of Mendelian segregation in hybrids of Murcott tangor and Pera sweet orange, evaluated in greater numbers, allows inference about the genetics of resistance heritability of ABS and to map the genomic region associated with the fungus using an integrated genetic map previously obtained. Different responses were observed after the fungus inoculation. Five hybrids of Willowleaf mandarin like, six hybrids of mandarin like, three hybrids of Murcott like and 21 hybrids of orange like, resistant to ABS, or with few symptoms of the disease were selected. High values of heritability and genetic variability measured indicate that the selection of resistant plants in the progeny can be successful. A resistance gene and molecular markers associated with it were located in the same linkage group 3 of integrated map of Murcott and Pera. The selected genotypes constitute potential material for commercial planting and for the control of disease in the field.

The silviculture activity, as well as other economic activities (industrial, agrarian, farming, etc.), can cause environmental impacts, both positive and negative, according to a number of circumstances, such as in relation to the conditions prior to planting, water regime in the region, the biome of insertion of the activity, the management techniques employed, the integration of the local population, among others. Plantations of exotic species (ex. genera Eucalyptus and Pinus) have been the subject of severe criticism regarding the possible reduction of biodiversity. These criticisms have arisen from situations and relationships that conflict that have occurred, for decades, between those responsible for the implementation and use of these plantations on one side and the other people aware of the need for preservation of biodiversity. In this study we selected 15 Brazilian companies that are certified to the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) with the aim of assessing whether the Management Plans from forests certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) had evidence of the use of the results of monitoring of biodiversity (especially fauna) in interventions of forest management aimed at biological conservation. The method used was the documentary analysis of the Public Summaries of the Management Plans, between the years of 2011 to 2015, available on the internet. Among the several results obtained, of note is the fact that the 15 forestry companies, 13 (87%) conducted an inventory of qualitative and quantitative aspects of wild fauna, and analyzing the total hectares of areas monitored in relation to the total number of areas in plantation of eucalyptus, in 8 (53%) forestry companies monitoring is conducted in areas that have a range of 5% to 47% of the areas under certification. We can observe, through critical analysis of their management plans, in which they are sampling of static form the structure of biodiversity, through lists of species. It concludes that there are no concrete evidence of the use of information obtained through monitoring of fauna for making decisions about the best ways of intervention of forest management, indicating uncertainty when the real possibility of same to assist in the conservation of biodiversity. This way, was proposed a protocol model for monitoring of fauna, with specific methodologies for the group of wild mammals. In this case, the results can be used in the assessment of the impacts of forest management of forestry companies contributing to the fitting of the form of forest management compatible with the maintenance of its biodiversity.

The bat community of the Jatai Ecologic Station region, Northeast of São Paulo State, was studied by comparing bat species surveys, in three forest fragments, to investigate the two components of species diversity, richness and abundance. Twentytwo bat species were recorded, with the sum of the species from the three fragments. Three phyllostomid species were dominant in two forest fragments, and two Molossidae species were dominant in other. Many bat species were rare. Species diversity obtained, measured by the Shannon index (He '), was similar in the three fragments, and close to the values of most studies of brazilian Southeastern bat communities (He’close to 2.0). This suggests constancy in the pattern of species diversity of bats in this region, and also in Southeastern Brazil. Of the 22 species recorded, four can be considered highly sensitive to the habitat fragmentation. The diversity achieved was significant, highlighting the value of these protected areas for the maintenance of local and regional biodiversity. The Red List of IUCN (The IUCN Red List) has been used to provide information about the conservation status of the species worldwide, and the same subsidize jobs assigned to this issue, with special focus on endangered species. At the national level, ICMBio (Chico Mendes Institute for Biodiversity Conservation) has the same goal, to discuss the conservation status of the Brazilian species, developing lists that guide actions to protect them. Using the information provided by IUCN and ICMBio, and bats records in the cerrado, considering the Brazilian territory, here are discussed aspects of ecology and conservation of bat species, in order to clarify some aspects of interest in this topic. Using the spatial interpolation method (IDW) to estimate the possible value of species richness in places not sampled species, was evaluated knowledge about the species richness of occurrence of bats in the cerrado of Brazil.

Reinforced concrete structures built in coastal areas, such as electricity distribution poles, are constantly attacked by aggressive environmental agents. Rebar corrosion mechanism is a specific manifestation of electrochemical corrosion in an aqueous medium, thus the mechanism of corrosion of steel in concrete develops only in the presence of water or environment with high relative humidity (R.H.>60%). Chloride is known as one of the most aggressive environmental agents, causing rebar corrosion and consequent degradation of the concrete. Chlorides can reach the steel reinforcement through the pores network present in the concrete, if the device is close to marine atmosphere. The chloride content increases with time, and can attack the entire surface of the rebar, and may result in severe and dangerous corrosion velocity. Corrosion results in a decrease in rebar section and cracking of the concrete in parallel direction. The cracks occur because of corrosion products occupy more space than the original steel. In São Luis, concrete poles located on the coastal area has presented different types of pathology, mostly linked to performance of the chlorine ions. As a consequence, the life of these parts has reduced dramatically, generating maintenance costs. Therefore, this study intended to develop alternatives aimed at increasing the durability of reinforced concrete poles, by reducing the transfer of chlorides in their concrete cover, through variations in trace and concrete chemical composition, evaluating the influence of these parameters on its mechanical resistance. Therefore, many specimens were shaped with different compositions, using Type CPII E-32 Portland cement (compound slag) with water / cement ratio ranging between 0.4 and 0.5. Concrete mixtures containing silica fume (in order to reduce the capillary) and red mud additions (in order to protect the equipment by reducing the free chloride content) were also tested. Durability assessment of concrete was based on the results of its physical and mechanical characterization, on the electrical resistivity evaluation of concrete and rebar corrosion potential. Results show that silica fume and red mud addition reduces porosity and water absorption of concrete samples, as well increases mechanical strength, when compared to currently used concrete for poles manufacturing in São Luis. Additionally, it revealed a drastic reduction in rebar corrosivity when covered by concrete with these additions, tripling the life time of poles.

This study aimed present the máster’s dissertation named Canjerê: uma performance cartográfica em patrimônio cultural, educação e africanidades, held in the Postgraduate Program in Education of the Federal University of São Carlos (UFSCar). This research is proposed to follow the process of an experience lived by individuals and black cultural practices, which resulted in creation of Instituto Baobá de Cultura e Arte – o Ibaô – in Campinas (SP). The movement of this research reveals an experience as possible against what is hegemonic tax as only true culture, from the practice of Capoeira and other black cultural expressivity. Based on the invisibility of issue of black people, this process offers clues to the construction of aternatives that break the dominant models, weaving reflections on the social hostilities that affect the uniqueness and identity construction centered africanities and as the prospect of knowledge of ecology can contribute to the construction of new existential territories.

This thesis explored aspects that can help balance the level of user control and system autonomy for intelligent privacy agents in the context of the Internet of Things. This proposed balance could be reached considering aspects related to wanting to be interrupted to have control and being able to be interrupted to exert this control. Through literature review of interruption and privacy literature, variables related to these two perspectives were identified. This led to the variable set "Intelligent Privacy Interruptions”. To verify and validate this set, two research actions were performed. The first one was an online survey that allowed us to perform a sanity check that these variables were acceptable in this work’s context. The second was an experience sampling user study with 21 participants that allowed us to better understand how user behavior is informed by these variables. Based on these two interventions it was possible to note that the selected variables seem to show relevance and that they can be used to inform the development and design of privacy agents. The limitations of the partial results notwithstanding, through a quantitative analysis of data collected form the user study and the qualitative analysis of the exit interviews, it was possible to note a common mental process between the participants of the user study when deciding whether to withhold or delegate decision control to the agent. Future studies should be performed to verify the possibility of expansion and creation of a behavior and preference model that can be integrated to the decisionmaking system of intelligent privacy agents.

This work falls within the scope of the investigation of the initial teacher training, investigating the Institutional Scholarship Program Introduction to Teaching. This is a case study in which it is carried out an analysis of PIBID-Biology subproject of the Federal University of São Carlos (UFSCar), which is part of PIBID UFSCar-institutional project. From an analysis of all documents relating to the implementation of the project at all levels (national, institutional and subproject) as well as the interview with researchers involved in the construction of these projects, we built a description of the processes involving the construction of the national project, as well as the institutional design and, finally, the subproject Biology UFSCar. This first step was the context for understanding, through analysis of reflective portfolios produced by scholars, the dimensions of teaching knowledge built by undergraduates as scholarship students from PIBID. In light of the training teacher references (NÓVOA, 2009; ANDRÉ, 2012, GATTI, BARRETTO & ANDRÉ 2011, Zeichner, 2010, among others), knowledge of the teachers (PEPPER, 2005 Tardif, 2000, 2007) and also Complexity Theory (BONIL & PUJOL, 2008; RIBERAYGUA, 2012; MORIN, 2004, 2005), we realized that, despite the PIBID have characteristics that approach a complex and dynamic model, students have many difficulties in view their performance as part of a complex system that involves not only the classroom but the entire surroundings. We understand that this may occur because not always the PIBID works in coordination with the context , undermining thus functioning as a dynamic and complex system , requiring several adjustments and improvements in this program.

Sugarcane is a renewable source of energy and has potential for expansion. The economic importance of sugarcane is due to its use as raw material, mainly for the sugar and ethanol production and, more recently for the electricity generation from lignocellulosic residues. The genetic improvement of sugarcane is responsible for releasing more productive and resistant cultivars but, however, is a long process with high cost. Furthermore, the sugarcane is polyploid and often presents aneuploid, which makes the work of breeding programs even more hampered. Thus, the phenotypic and molecular knowledge of the access that are commonly used for the crosses to obtain segregating populations or that are part of genebanks of breeding programs is of extreme importance, because this knowledge may drive the improvement process and increases the chances of selecting superior cultivars that meet the demand of the sugarcane industry. In this work, a panel of 242 genotypes of sugarcane, which compose the Brazilian Panel of Sugarcane Genotypes (PBGCA), was planted in the Agricultural Sciences Center of the Federal University of São Carlos, at Araras-SP, in a completely randomized block design with four replications. We evakuated eight phenotypic traits of economic importance: stalk height (m), stalk diameter (mm), stalk number, total weight (kg), soluble solids content (ºBrix), juice sucrose content (POL%Caldo), cane sucrose content (POL%Cana) and fiber content (FIB%); and also the incidence of brown rust (Puccínia melanocephala) at field and the presence of the resistance gene of this disease (Bru1). The estimate of variance, genotypic correlation analysis and principal component analysis showed the genetic diversity of PBGCA, which has, for example, contrasting genotypes for sucrose content and fiber content. In addition, from all resistant accessions on the field to brown rust, 72.30% present the Bru1 gene, which is strongly associated with resistance. Phenotypic and molecular characterization of PBGCA showed to be an efficiently important guide for the breeding strategies and enables future studies of association between traits of economic importance and molecular markers in order to perform assisted selection in sugarcane.

This research has the general objective to analyze the perceptions that school directors from kindergarten in the city of Araraquara / SP have on their own work in order to identify if they understand their eminently pedagogical nature. For this, a qualitative research was done, interpretative type, using questionnaires and semi-structured interview. The data analysis used the triangulation technique, building a profile and an analysis of their perceptions of the pedagogical and administrative activities. For this analysis, the study is based on the concepts of school administration (PARO 2011, 2015); and formation in school management, autonomy and decentralization of education (LÜCK, 2000). It supports also the idea of the need to build a theory for the administration of public school and valorization of the Pedagogic Political Project (SILVA JR, 2015;. VEIGA, 2009). This study deals with, briefly, the subject of education in postmodernity (Hargreaves, 1998), seeking to establish a relationship of social change - democratization of education and the new clientele; crisis of utopias and knowledge; dynamism and access to information - and its new demand for school, changing roles of agents that act on it. This process resulted analytical axes: "Options for career"; "Insertion in school management"; "School director formations" and "Activities undertaken by the director." Data composed the profile of an overloaded professional, devalued, responsible and hamstrung. In relation to its activities directors emphasize pedagogical is not a priority since the purpose of exclusively bureaucratic overlaps them. In the case of directors of early childhood education in Araraquara, this scenario is intensified due to the lack of a team of administrative and pedagogical support. In this respect, there is a devaluation of this level as the other directors of the network, the other levels and programs, which entered the same process with the same requirements, have these agents. Consequently, perceives the hegemonic thought that the school of early childhood education is a guard location and care of children without educational nature. As for the numerous formations made by the directors, none was cited as something significant in aid of their activities, so this research brought contributions to the initial and continuing education, demonstrating the need for dialogue with the everyday working practices of directors, avoiding also a clash with the real beginner’s directors. As for the results, for the Municipal Araraquara and its supervisory staff, the data show the number of documents requested, sometimes with the same data and the difficulty of the director alone, turn to the pedagogical work, and noted the need reframing of this position, due to the working conditions and depreciation already mentioned. The data also showed that this research brought moments of reflection for directors on the roles they play, including raising the request of some of them to create a study group. Finally, for the researcher and supervisor, which in this movement to stop to listen to these managers, its operations and spurred to seek new knowledge and ways of doing things that enable the pedagogical action of directors in schools.

The identification Selenastraceae family organism is performed by optical microscopy only on diacritic characteristics, what has been questioned from recent molecular studies. Conflicts between phylogenetic, morphologic and genetic results were found after analysis of a large number of species Selenastraceae, and misidentification and consequently error in the classification directly leads to that the underestimation of species from Selenastraceae family. An alternative to these errors in identification and classification would be avoided using a polyphasic taxonomic approach to this family, combining to morphology, genetics, physiology and chemotaxonomy. Therefore, the use of fatty acids found in microalgae as an alternative to contribute assist in identification can be feasible. Using this information, this study considered the fatty acids of sixteen strains of microalgae from Selenastraceae family and found specific fatty acids and may differentiate between strains of microalgae and has presented fatty acids indicators from the Selenastraceae families (C18:3ω3 and C18:4ω6), Scenedesmaceae (C18:2ω6, C18:1ω9, C16:2ω6) and Oocystaceae (C18:3ω6) and also genera Monoraphidium (C16:1ω9 and C16:3ω6), Coelastrum (C18:1ω9) and Nephrocytium (C18:3ω6). Among Selenastraceae was detected potential with fatty acids for the production of biofuels (C18:1ω9), to feeding to animals (C16:0) and polyunsaturated for human nutritional supplements (C18:3ω3, C18:2ω6 and C16:4ω3) according the growing stage of these organisms.

The intent of this work is to conduct an ethnographic study of the relationships between the Puruborá (a Tupi-speaking Amazonian group) from the village of Aperoí (state of Rondônia, Brazil) and plants, considering that this relationships permeates this people‟s ethnic reorganization based on the past and their keeping alive of what was taken from them, their traditional territory. Through the care of yards, it's remarkable the Puruborá‟s concern in maintaining them organized, clean, aesthetically beautiful and with appropriately cultivated plants. To the Puruborá, it's an imperative to keep a clean yard. The large variety of plants that circulate throughout the many village‟s yards is a reflection of the diversity of species within each area. The search for new and renewed of plants in the village of Aperoí is a never-ending task. According to the Puruborá, the Cigana area (their former traditional territory) once had even more plant diversity than Aperoí does today. Therefore, the plants create a connection between past and present, but also with the future. I say “future” because they are included in the prosperous plans of reforesting the village after official territorial demarcation: “Here‟s going to be like it used to be in Cigana”.

This is a theoretical paper that, given a longstanding difficulty of approaching logical reasoning from a behavioral perspective, attempts to provide an interpretation of Aristotelian syllogisms consistent with Relational Frame Theory, thus proposing a new relational frame, i.e. Relational Frames of Deductive Inference. To that end, it was analyzed, on the one hand, the account of syllogisms found in Aristotle’s Prior analytics, highlighting relevant concepts and, on the other hand, RFT literature, mainly the 2001 book by Hayes, Barnes-Holmes & Roche. In this light, we argue that Aristotelian syllogisms present the necessary features of any relational frame and also a specific pattern and specific relational cues that set it apart from other already defined relational frames. Understanding logical reasoning as operant behavior (in this case, a specific type of arbitrarily applicable relational responding) may constitute a necessary first step in developing empirical methods for the study of such an important class of behaviors.

Currently, we live surrounded by technology everywhere, which makes knowledge of Modern and Contemporary Physics indispensable. Researchers justify the importance of incorporating these contents into high school education, but there is a scarcity of studies addressing the methods that should be applied in the classroom. For this reason, this study develops research on the development of a didactic sequence of the Theory of Special Relativity in Zabala's conception, which high school Physics teachers analyzed for its suitability, as well as identifying potential contributions and limitations. The research also examines whether the contents of Modern and Contemporary Physics are addressed in the classroom, whether teachers are prepared to teach these subjects, what methodologies they use, and whether they have any limitations in their approach. The research methodology is qualitative. To achieve the intended objectives, three stages were carried out: the first stage was an interview, with the objective of establishing initial contact with the teachers and gathering information about them; the second stage involved delivering the sequence along with a framework containing guiding questions to assist teachers in analyzing it; and the third stage consisted of collecting the analyzed sequence and recording the responses to the guiding questions. The purpose of this stage was to gather further information regarding the analysis. All interviews were recorded and subsequently transcribed and analyzed. The analysis of the interview transcriptions was conducted using the assumptions of Content Analysis. Through this analysis, it was observed that teachers are in favor of integrating Modern and Contemporary Physics into high school education. However, when it comes to the specific topic of the Theory of Special Relativity, some claim that it would not be feasible. Some of these teachers do not address Modern and Contemporary Physics, and consequently, they do not cover the Theory of Special Relativity in the classroom, which may be related to the fact that these topics are not included in the curriculum of the state of São Paulo. Some of them also stated that they are not equipped to teach these subjects. Therefore, it can be concluded that the integration of Modern and Contemporary Physics is still a controversial subject, as some teachers find it viable while others do not. Thus, further research and analysis are necessary on a larger scale, as incorporating these topics would support both the initial and continuing education of teachers, as well as the organization of the curriculum itself.

The Lear's Macaw (Anodorhyncus leari) is an endemic parrot of northeastern Bahia state, classified as endangered mainly due to the destruction of their habitats and wildlife trade. It was recently discovered in the wild, and few studies are known for this species. Understanding behavioral patterns of species threatened by extinction is essential for developing effective conservation strategies. Here we describe the behavioral repertoire of a group of this species maintained by the São Paulo Zoological Park Foundation. We carried out observations between October 2014 and February 2015, totaling 348 hours of sampling effort through ad libitum continuous record, in two different environmental conditions, both in in pairs and in flock. We described 60 behavioral states, grouped in categories maintenance, locomotion, feeding, social, stereotyped, reproductive and alert. We also found five patterns of vocalization (alarm, contact, cohesion, reproduction and imitation). Most of the behaviors described for other species is also reported here to A. leari, more similar to A. hyacinthinus. We discuss the differences in order to contribute to the formulation of a behavioral profile for this species, and with information that may assist in maintaining normal behavior in captivity.

This work deals with the analysis of queueing systems for Call Centers regarding the possibility of the customer abandon the system before being served, due to his/her impatience. The Call Centers are service organizations that predominantly serve customers by phone calls and are considered a particular kind of Contact Centers that serve their costumers through phone, fax, e-mail, chat, mobile devices and other communication channels. From a business point of view, the main concern on the management of the Call Center is the offer quality service with minimum cost. The perception of the quality of services offered is expressed, by customer, for example, through the abandonment of queue, which is considered one of the most important operational measures to evaluate the performance of a Call Center. This work aims to present and apply analytical queueing models with abandonment, represented by generic probability distributions (particularly mixed distributions), as an effective analysis approach to represent the problem of congestion in Call Center systems and support decisions of dimensioning and operations on these systems. Two studies were conducted with Call Center extracted data of a company located in the countryside of São Paulo State, Brazil and another located overseas, in Israel. The parameters (e.g, arrival rate, service rate, abandonment rate) and some measures of performance (e.g, average waiting time, waiting probability, abandonment probability and traffic intensity) were established based on these data. These sampling measures were equated with the same measures achieved by the analytical queueing models M/M/c+G, M/Gc/1+G and M/G/c+G considered in this research, using the parameters obtained empirically and mixed, Exponential, Fatigue Life, Normal and Lognormal distributions to represent the abandonment (patience) of users. It was observed that in some cases, depending on the considered performance measure, the queueing models with mixed distributions for the abandonment have better results (minor deviations, compared to the real data) than their corresponding with nonmixed distributions. It was observed, also, that independently of the analyzed performance measures, the Call Centers may be represented by a analytical queueing model with a mixed distribution for abandonment times, which behaves better than the others. There were no evidences that the mixed distributions to represent the abandonment times were the best in all analyzed performance measures, but they were always competitive. It was used, also, an experimental model of discrete simulation that properly represents the Call Center in order to check the results of the analytical models and explore alternative scenarios. The same scenarios were considered with the theoretical model and the performance measures achieved by the simulation and by the theoretical models were compared, showing the potential of the use of the approaches based on analytical models with abandonment for the Call Centers analysis.

This work deals primarily with the possible relationships and differences between Nietzsche and Foucault, considering the philosophical tonic each, from the way they understand and use the genealogical method. Then it makes a detailed analysis of the concept of resentment and ascetic priest present in the Genealogy of Morals. Finally, presents some possible correlations between resentment and pastoral concept of power Foucault, in order to explore their psychological substrate, a possible genesis of religious institutions and the proposal of a new concept, the ascetic teacher who comes to pass the ascetic priest for the appearance of the teacher in middle age.

This work AIMS to Develop the content of combinatorial analysis in the class of 6th and 7th grade of elementary school II in a school in the state of São Paulo. For this, there was the use of contextualized activities using leaves, activities and resources Involving magic, aiming to arouse curiosity and interest in learning Combinatorial through problem solving. The theme was chosen because of the difficulty of students in solving counting problems and is being explored little in basic education, although it appears in documents oficiais- National Curriculum Parameters and Curriculum of the State of São Paulo. We opted for the mathematical magic feature to make more meaningful and enjoyable learning Combinatorics, seeking the motivation of students to Actively Participate in class, joining the pleasure the act of learning. During the performance of activities, it was Noted que the students felt motivated, Relating the content of combinatorial analysis with a fun practice by magic. They Showed great enthusiasm in carrying out the activities, Especially in the days que had the magic. The didactic proposal with the use of leaf-activities Reached most of the students, who Were Involved and were very active During class, Resulting in collegues learning Combinatorial Analysis content. All activities Reached The proposed objectives, validating the Proposed teacher. After the completion of the activities, students felt more confident to expose Their reasoning, presenting solving strategies and explore the problem in search of a suitable solution.

This work related about games construction and application in classroom, aiming the development of competence and ability prescribed in Sao Paulo State Curriculum, further helping the continuous fixation and assistance. The topics are Sequences, Progressions and Volumes. Each content was initially worked with chalk and board, and, then, valued. Posteriorly the games were built by the students and applied in classroom. After the perception of necessary changes in one of the games, the adjustments were made and the game was reapplied. The results were satisfactory, further having significant possibility of improvement. The steps of the work are separately reported, from the content choices to be worked, passing throughout didactic engineering (diagnostic assessment, planning, implementation and evaluation) beside the results, in way to favor the proper understanding about the work to provide the review of the importance of games as a relevant factor in mathematics teaching, fixation and knowledge building.
