Proyectos pedagógicos de aula : un espacio para el desarrollo del pensamiento matemático

Abstract

Generally Mathematics is conceived as an area that generates fear and prevention among students. Around it there are many imaginary and prejudices: it is the most difficult area, in which there is the highest level of disapproval; math teachers are stricter, their full learning is a matter of genius, among others. Very surely this is related to routine and the use of methodologies that contribute little to the construction of children's learning, become a relevant obstacle when developing a optimal cognitive process in students. The Technical Educational Institution ―La Libertad‖ of Samacá, is no stranger to this reality. By asking students about the cause of their demotivation, they affirm that the classes seem boring, routine, that only they explain and then they send them to do exercises. In the third grade 'KNOW' test, the average result was 30.2 which indicates a basic level. Which was corroborated with the application of a diagnostic test in which an average of 36.0 was obtained, by which deduces that there are deficiencies in his analytical and logical thinking, and in the resolution of problems, among others. Faced with this situation, it is considered important to find educational alternatives for classroom to diversify intervention strategies in the teaching of mathematics, promoting higher levels of learning, and resignifying mathematical thinking in students and also to promote change in teaching practice and the true transformations in teacher training. Thus, the application of a series of strategies for the development of mathematical thinking through pedagogical projects of PPA classroom with third grade students of Primary Basic Education of the Institution.
