Resumen
Learning mathematics not only focuses on young people memorizing rules and
steps to be followed in order to solve a problem, but on developing their logical and
deductive reasoning skills to solve everyday situations in which they can apply
mathematics. Keeping in mind this consideration, the present study titled “Teaching
Tools and Resources for the Learning of Trigonometric Ratios" is aimed at developing a
teaching guide that supports the process of building knowledge of tenth graders of Basic
General Education in the Planning Unit called Trigonometric Ratios from the Geometry
and Measurement block. One of the drawbacks that was observed is that learners get
bored easily or prefer to carry out another type of activity while the educator teaches,
which leads them to rote learning when adopting that attitude.
The information students receive is only stored for a certain period of time
showing little or no interest in analyzing or reasoning concepts; in addition to this, there
is a lack of tools and didactic resources that can be applied in the learning of trigonometric
ratios. Based on these considerations and with the purpose of understanding in a better
way the learners’ needs, a research method was applied to collect statistic data, and the
one that was the most suitable for the present study was the survey, which was applied on
students from the first year of Baccalaureate at Ciudad de Cuenca High School. After
analyzing the results, it was concluded that students like the idea that teaching tools and
resources are present in their academic performance. These are reflected in the teaching
guide, which consists of 8 trigonometry classes, with creative and different activities to
improve their participation in the classroom. It is important to emphasize that each one
has flexible planning and, if necessary, can be modified.
