The main objective of this article is to discuss, based on an activity, how games can enrich the understanding and learning of the multiplication of Natural Numbers in Elementary School for 5th grade students. We also seek to analyze how interactions can favor students' learning in a collaborative way. The practice with a specific game was carried out through a didactic sequence, in the teaching-research proposal, in which researchers investigate their own practices. A dialogue was held with the classes before the activities were carried out, the rules of the game were previously explained and the sequence was developed. The reflection on actions and results shows the existence of knowledge and experience sharing, which favored learning in a significant way. The use of the game showed that the interaction leads to a better understanding of multiplication as a sum of equal parts, as well as the understanding that commutativity would be linked to a change in the situation presented.
