Método Singapur en el aprendizaje de las matemáticas en los estudiantes de básica primaria.

Abstract

The research sought to analyze the incidence of the Singapore method in the learning of mathematics in third grade students of the María Concepción Loperena Educational Institution, Guaimaral # 25, through the strengthening of division skills in third grade students; this method emphasizes logical-mathematical thinking through concrete practices that go from the simple to the complex; in addition, the curricular standards in mathematics, as well as pedagogical principles related to the basic learning rights (DBA) were used as a theoretical basis. An action plan was carried out with activities designed aligned to the three phases of the method: concrete-pictorial-abstract; in each phase, two practical activities were carried out that allowed students to model and represent divisions visually and manipulatively before conceptualizing them abstractly; on the other hand, the approach adopted was of interpretive paradigm, seeking to understand the students' learning processes. The results after implementation showed a significant improvement in the mastery of division concepts and procedures, students strengthened their understanding through concrete representations that allowed them to overcome previous difficulties and develop this mathematical topic with confidence; finally, the application of the Singapore method proved to be an effective alternative for the reinforcement of divisions at this school level.
