Guía didáctica para el aprendizaje significativo de la división de números enteros

Abstract

This innovation proposal has as main goal to contribute to the teaching-learning process of division operations with whole numbers, through the use of games. This project was applied to children coursing the sixth grade of basic general education at a primary school from a district of Cuenca, which will be called “Knowledge”. Previously to this innovation proposal, a diagnosis test was performed to the children, resulting noticeably that most of them failed in the ability to learn the division operations with whole numbers. Main identified difficulties for children are the following: (1) fail to solve exercises that demand the application of division algorithm, (2) fail to do estimation exercises, and (3) fail to solve division exercises. Diagnosis test results in conjunction with a theoretic review about the significative learning of the division, allowed to plan an innovative proposal using games to improve the performance of the children when solving division exercises with whole numbers. The proposal includes different activities based on games, leading to an ending point with an evaluation and reflexional process.
