Special training in Mathematics Friendly Learning

Abstract

This essay of experience narrates the development of the Special Training Course on Friendly Learning in Mathematics, carried out in collaboration between the Ministry of Education (MINED), the Institute for Human Promotion (INPRHU-Somoto) and the Regional Multidisciplinary Faculty of Estelí (FAREM-Estelí). The course focused on the teaching of operations with fractions and decimals in primary education, addressing topics such as the blackboard plan, writing and contextualization of problems, and the application of solving methods, including the Pólya method. Throughout three meetings held from August 5 to 19, 2023, the exchange of strategies and methods was encouraged, with emphasis on contextualized problem writing. The environment in which the course was held provided the necessary resources for its effective development. The methodology used encouraged the active participation of the 20 participants, who shared their experiences, emotions and knowledge through blogs, learning strategies, didactic and digital games. As a result, an effective leveling among participants was achieved, and products such as interactive games, logs and contextualized problem solving were generated, which evidenced the learning acquired during the mathematics course.
