El método de polya para el aprendizaje significativo de la geometría en educación básica

Abstract

Geometry, is a part of mathematics, which is presented as a connection with reality, this can be reflected in the objects of everyday life that may have forms of triangles, squares, rectangles, circles, presenting much significance for the students. However, geometry poses many abstract mechanisms such as the use of formulas, rules, classifications, which, if not addressed from a relevant method, will be complex for students to memorize these approaches and the relationship with everyday situations will be reduced. According to this, this research proposes to analyze the Polya method through scientific research, for the significant learning of geometry in eighth grade students of basic General education. To this end, it is proposed as a methodology of the argumentative essay, gathering important information from scientific articles about the impact of the Polya method on the teaching of geometry. The results found in the research that Polya presents is the most suitable to be applied since the problem solving, with known elements, so that the student can obtain meaningful learning. In conclusion, it was obtained that this model is a viable alternative to geometry and its teaching process, because it allows to establish a relationship between mathematical knowledge and its correct application, poses a perfectly structured sequence for its correct form of execution and encourages the student to seek solution mechanisms.
