Comprensión lógica y su relación en la resolución de problemas matemáticos en 6to grado, escuela “luz de américa”, Machala, 2024-2025

Abstract

This work, entitled "Logical Comprehension and its Relationship to Mathematical Problem Solving in 6th Grade, Luz de América School, Machala, 2024-2025," for the Bachelor of Basic Education degree, was born from the need to understand logical comprehension in mathematical problem solving, how it is directed toward a better logical comprehension, and how to adapt it to digital tools to respond to the needs of sixth-grade students.The research approach is both quantitative and qualitative, related to explanatory, descriptive, and relational research. Its research methodology is documentary and field research. The research units are made up of two institutional authorities, three teachers, and 86 students.This research concludes that logical comprehension is very important in the teaching-learning process of sixth-grade students and guarantees the resolution of mathematical problems. This is evident at Luz de América School this includes poor understanding of statements, poor ability to select data and formulate unknowns, and difficulty constructing and solving equations. This leads to problems being poorly solved, which is reflected in the incorrect completion of in-class and out-of-class activities and/or tasks, diminishing their academic performance.
