Método Montessori y el aprendizaje de las matemáticas

Abstract

The Montessori method and its impact on the learning of mathematics has been an essential topic in education, as it allows the child to be educated in a comfortable, flexible and clean classroom through playful strategies, promoting development among classmates. fun way implementing the game as an essential basis for the development of abilities, skills and attitudes. That is why the material used will allow to arouse the interest and curiosity of the student, guided by the teacher in such a way that it helps to build their own significant learning in the resolution of mathematical operations, which is easier for them because they learn in a concrete and manipulative starting from the concrete to the abstract. The main objective of this research was to determine the incidence of the Montessori Method in the learning of basic elementary mathematics at the "25 de Mayo" School, Machala, 2021-2022, the same one that was carried out in different activities to be carried out in All the research and proposal that I get came to implement a didactic guide with playful strategies that were prepared for the teachers of the institution so that they can implement in their respective classes and improve the teaching-learning process in mathematics. A descriptive, relational and explicit methodology was applied in such a way as to define the problem, with a quantitative-qualitative approach. In the quantitative applying the interviews to the teachers, the same one that is tabulated and processed with statistical tables, in regards to qualitative because data was collected and analyzed and interpreted, identifying the reality of the problem. It has a documentary modality since it was supported by the study of bibliographic sources of scientific articles. Regarding the evidence, it was obtained virtually in such a way that it was entered for the respective observation of the classes through the Teams platform in which they carried out their morning educational sessions, with the authorization of the executed institution, recognizing that teachers should involve the Montessori method in mathematics classes so that students learn and can develop in the educational field in a fun way, which will allow them to develop their logical-mathematical thinking and arouse their interest for math. Therefore, it was possible to observe that the classes are monotonous where boring mathematics is taught, making the student lack knowledge and make it difficult for him to achieve his development in the teaching-learning process. In such a way that it is essential that the teachers of said institution obtain this teaching method so that in this way they can educate children capable of solving mathematical problems without any difficulty, providing a comfortable and pleasant environment with the aim that they become creators. of their own knowledge and express themselves with confidence when carrying out any recreational activities with specific material. Given that he shows interest in mathematics.
