Los sólidos platónicos, una estrategia didáctica para el desarrollo de habilidades en el pensamiento geométrico-métrico

Resumen

Platonic solids, a didactic strategy for the development of skills in geometric-metric thinking, making use of concrete material, and good critical reading for problem-solving. The current research proposal was carried out at the Ferrini Bilingual School, in Medellín, Robledo, it aims to enhance the reasoning competence of the geometric component in 8th-grade students, from the implementation of a sequence of activities framed in the calculation of areas of plane figures and volumes of some solids, mediated by the use of concrete material. This investigation was concentrated, in a significant time in front of the situations presented from the virtuality; For this, elements such as the standardized multiple-choice test applied at the beginning and the end of the investigation in virtual sections were used, with which it was evidenced that there was an impact between the initial and final tests. Among the results obtained, it can be deduced that learning is more significant if concrete material is used, especially in geometric topics. In the same way, problems are resolved effectively if a good understanding of reading is done, as long as it adapts to the context. It is expected this idea arouses the interest of the teacher in the teaching-learning process in geometric thinking in their classroom.
