The present work aims to report the use of a mathematical game with concepts of multiples and divisors (LCM and GCD) of a natural number in a class of the 6th grade of an elementary public school of the city of Belém - PA. Before that, a diagnostic test addressing these concepts was conducted with students of the 7th year of elementary school, former students of the 6th year. Relying on the acquired data, we conducted a bibliographic study on the difficulties encountered. Finally, we developed and applied a pedagogical intervention with 6th year students, using the "Multiples and Divisors Racing Game". After the experience, we noticed greater student involvement, concentration and determination regarding the resolution of the challenges. This perception was essential to the understanding that we need to diversify the strategies and methodologies in order to work with mathematics contents in elementary school.

Keywords : Mathematical games; Playfulness; Teaching-learning.
