Gnosciedra: Learning Instrument for Mathematics

Abstract

This project presents a learning tool for mathematics which can not only be applied to learning algebra at the high school level in the IPN, but is also helpful for other school subjects because it involves the students in its design, using their creativity, synthesis capacity, and judgment to include relevant information. This instrument has its origin in origami, and was adopted to appropriate algebra knowledge, whose tradition has marked it as boring, difficult and only for the privileged. The study methods and techniques encourage good practices and promote consistency in work of people who want to acquire knowledge and rely on learning tools. That’s why the general goal of this project is to help students to acquire a study technique to learn math. Specific goals of the project range from expanding the cognitive capacity of the students to have a repertoire of thealgebraic elements and expressions in the algebra learning unit and generate an instrument that improves the processes of the instruction for logic mathematical reasoning.
