La resolución ordenada de los problemas matemáticos y su incidencia en el desarrollo del pensamiento lógico-matemático en los estudiantes de los octavos años de la Unidad Educativa Santa Rosa de la Parroquia de Santa Rosa del Cantón Ambato

Abstract

This thesis is entitled "THE ORDERLY RESOLUTION OF MATHEMATICAL PROBLEMS AND THE IMPACT ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF LOGICALMATHEMATICAL

THINKING IN EIGHT-YEAR STUDENTS OF THE EDUCATIONAL UNIT "SANTA ROSA" OF SANTA ROSA PARISH IN CANTON AMBATO" was made because most students of eight year are not able to solve mathematics problems correctly, after a diagnostic evaluation 72% of the participants did wrongly. This research is justified because of the lack of research by teachers to investigate the difficulties that the students have in the development of mathematics and construction of logical-mathematical thinking. Model Mathematical problems were used. The respective questionnaires was applied to 132students, the hypothesis was checked through the t-student statistical method, where the average ratings of the initial questionnaire are lower than the average of the scores of the final questionnaire 6,98 and 15,36 points respectively. It is concluded that the orderly resolution of mathematical problems affected the development of logical-mathematical thinking in students. It is recommended to implement the proposal designed to orderly solve mathematical problems which helps to improve math skills and abilities.
