Grupos interactivos: implementación de una secuencia didáctica lúdica y materiales concretos para la enseñanza aprendizaje de las operaciones básicas con números fraccionarios de 5to y 6to de educación básica

Abstract

This project aims to contribute to the improvement of the domain of the basic operations of addition and subtraction with fractional numbers of students in the sixth year of basic education of the “Tres de Noviembre” School, of the city of Cuenca. Some of the causes of this problem are: lack of mastery of multiplication tables; the use of a traditional and little interactive methodology in the classes; the lack of concern of students for their academic performance and the limited participation and accompaniment of parents in the academic life of students. Through the implementation of a didactic sequence that involved the organization of the classroom in interactive groups, in addition to the use of concrete material and strategies based on the game, it was intended to contribute to the improvement in the ability of students to understand basic concepts of fractions and solve exercises and problems with fractional numbers. The project was carried out under the participative action research methodology, within the socio-critical paradigm, with a mixed approach; information was obtained from many collection instruments such as field diaries, a diagnostic test and a sociogram. Thanks to the data obtained, a proposal was designed and implemented with activities that allowed students to investigate, socialize and understand various topics related to rational numbers.
