Abstract

The Montessori methodology as a teaching strategy in the mathematical area, is a topic that has aroused the interest of several teachers in the world, since it is part of one of the educational models with the greatest advantages in the teaching-learning process of children in basic education, leaving aside old teaching methods where only a blackboard and a marker were used for the development of mathematical exercises. The methodology used responds to a qualitative approach, based on the proposal, the objectives, the theoretical aspects, the methodological process and the results, for this reason, it is necessary to mention that the amount to the results was given through the elaboration of a methodological guide addressed to the authorities, teachers, parents and students of the Basic Education Unit "Mi Lindo Ecuador", together with some of the materials most used in children through the Montessori methodology such as: The abacus, the sandpaper numbers and the numerical ruler, which are a fundamental part of the learning-mathematical process, where they help the child to release their potential in a structured environment, enhanced and designed for the respective project. Finally, it is worth mentioning that the results have been favorable for both teachers and students, establishing new teaching procedures in the mathematical area, with the aim that the Montessori methodological strategy helps to improve the development of logical-mathematical thinking, in addition to favoring independence and the perception of the child's aptitudes, demonstrating the ability to achieve concentration, exploration, deep imagination and even take control in the process of self-learning.
