Elaboración de material didáctico y guía para el laboratorio de matemáticas de la carrera de matemáticas y física de la Universidad de Cuenca, correspondiente a las unidades: conceptos fundamentales de álgebra, fracciones algebraicas, radicación y potenciación

Abstract

Preparation of teaching materials and guides for mathematics laboratory career of Mathematics and Physics at the University of Cuenca, corresponding to units: basic concepts of algebra, algebraic fractions, establishment and empowerment", is a work designed to develop educational activities that allow the student of Mathematics and Physics career reinforce topics learned in class. The following proposal contributes to the teaching and learning process of mathematics with methodology based on the use of didactic material that students can obtain and build. In the first chapter the theoretical part is developed with topics such as the traditional school, new school, didactics, meaningful learning, teaching materials and technology, in order to raise awareness of how the school has improved its teaching and learning methodology from its beginnings to the present and the importance it has had to include teaching as a teaching method. The second chapter provides a statistical analysis that was carried out by surveying students in the second cycle, the information shows the importance of teaching materials and suggests the use of these resources in teaching elementary algebra. The third chapter contains the proposal, which is itself divided into three blocks, each block contains the different topics divided into a theoretical part and a guide that students must follow step by step to develop it. The materials to be used have been developed and delivered along with this proposal and others are in the corresponding guides.
