Influencia del uso de recursos didácticos manipulativos en el aprendizaje del factor común, trinomio de la forma , y cubo de binomios en los estudiantes de primero de bachillerato

Abstract

Abstract: Currently in education it is necessary to use innovative methodologies, which help the teaching of mathematics. This research aimed to determine the influence of the use of manipulative teaching resources on the learning of the factor common, trinomial of the form ax² + bx + c and cube of binomials in first year students baccalaureate. A quantitative approach was used with a quasi-experimental pre-test-post-test design in a sample of 30 students. The results showed an improvement significant in the understanding of algebraic concepts and an increase in motivation and interest of students after the intervention with teaching resources manipulatives. It is concluded that the use of these manipulative teaching resources influences positively in learning the factorization cases addressed. Furthermore, it observed that the students showed greater participation and confidence when solving mathematical problems. It is recommended to promote the systematic implementation of Manipulative teaching resources in teaching algebraic concepts in high school and train teachers in its design and effective use to maximize the benefits educational.
