Abstract

The purpose of the Research was to design didactic resources for the Mathematics learning process in the seventh year of basic education al Miguel Ángel León Educational Unit from Riobamba, this was carried out applying the inductive and deductive method as well as surveys applied to teachers and students. Some information was collected to determine the strengths and weaknesses the children reflect during the teaching-learning process and to select the best alternatives to be developed for the students to make them understand the subject in a better way. According to the surveys carried out, it reflects that 68% of the sample consider that Mathematics is an easy subject but it does not make use of technological didactic resources which are essential for the educational aspect. In addition only 54 of 122 students have basic knowledge about a computer (turn in on and off) but they know how to browse on internet. After this study two graphic pieces such as posters and a multimedia CD were selected, they contain difficult topics tor the children to remember, they are: the curriculum, the Relative Position between Straight lines, Division succession, and Cartesian plane. It is concluded that it is very important to use didactic resources for the children´s educational process since it eases the learning process and improves the academic performance. It is recommended that the principal of Miguel Ángel León Educational Unit analyses the institutional Curriculum since the computer is an essential resource which must be used for the children´s benefit not only as a complement without any importance, in this way it is possible to apply several resources in order to have a quality education.
