The present work has as its theme "Contributions of recreational mathematics in school development and learning" where the choice of working with the aforementioned arose from experiences lived during graduation, which contributed to have a mathematics with more attractive teaching. This is a research at the end of the course which has the general objective of presenting a block of activities, aimed at basic education, with Recreational Mathematics as a theoretical argument, which is suitable for elementary school students. In this basis, we have as specific objectives: to elaborate a block of activities permeated by recreational mathematics for the basic school, to present mathematics in a playful way and to analyze possible contributions of the use of playful activities and / or strategies for the learning of mathematics. The methodology was based on bibliographic references such as Piovezan and Zanardini (2008), Miguel and Miorin (2004), Martins and Picado (2014), Costa (2014) among others. A block of activities was presented containing contextualized problems with the multiplication and division operations, a memory game aimed at teaching power, percentage hunting and a puzzle involving a fraction.
