Several surveys show that mathematics is often considered by students as a difficult discipline at the same time as they acknowledge the importance of mastering this knowledge and use it in their daily lives. Thus, this research was developed with students in a class of the 1st education cycle of youth and adults (EJA) in a municipal school in Aracaju (SE), located in the city center, where it was applied an African game of Mancala family as strategy of teaching. It sought to analyze how educational games Mancala family, specifically the "Ouri" interfere with mathematics learning process (in the basic operations of addition, subtraction and multiplication) and provide the knowledge. Methodologically, this research is part of a case study with a qualitative approach educational intervention. The subjects were young people and adults enrolled in the 1st cycle of this teaching unit, the type of education of adult education. Also appealed to the general and coordinating education school for carrying out a questionnaire concerning the operation and data of the educational institution. It is noteworthy that the main research subjects are students. To collect data we used semi-structured interviews and exercises in relation to the mathematical subject explored with students before and after the educational intervention; educational intervention; analysis of the diary and free observation.The results obtained from the analysis of data produced indicated that the use of the African game "Ouri" favored the development and learning of the exploited mathematical content and evidenced the formation of concepts and mathematical skills.
