El juego como estrategia para fortalecer el aprendizaje de la suma y la resta en tercero de EGB

Abstract

This proposal of educational innovation is included in the math area. Its purpose is to strength the operational sense of addition and subtraction in the students of third of EGB of the Public Mixed Palmira school, using the game as a strategy. In order to elaborate this proposal, a diagnosis was made through three moments: Observation of two math classes, evaluation to the children, and interview to the classroom teacher. The results of the diagnosis indicated that most of the students present difficulties in addition and subtraction learning by avoiding mental calculation strategies. They do not recognize subtraction in comparative situations because they are not able to explain and justify the process that follows when solving a problem involving addition or subtraction. In this context, and based on the constructivist theory, this proposal was developed through games, which include approaches of different activities, such as group work and consolidation of learning through the reflection and evaluation processes.
