Las Regletas de Cuisenaire como Alternativa para Fortalecer la Modelación de Problemas que Involucren Sistemas de Ecuaciones de dos Incógnitas

Abstract

The research entitled "The Cuisenaire Rods as an Alternative to Strengthen the Modeling of Problems Involving Systems of Equations in Two Variables" was developed with the objective of implementing the Singapore method through the sub-method of the Cuisenaire rods as an alternative to strengthen the modeling problems of lengths and parts that involve systems of equations of two variables at the educational institution Nueva Salomia of Cali. Qualitative work in a sample of nine students belonging to the ninth grade of the educational institution Nueva Salomia of the city of Cali, using as data collection the following instruments: the interview, the diagnostic test (pre-test) and post-test. The main results show significant progress on the subject of motivation, interest and leadership, taking into account the change in methodology which is far from a traditional educational system, that students would solve mathematical operations without the need of the teacher's total attention, allowing autonomous and collaborative work and also to internalize the processes, and have a didactic tool to establish procedures in relation to the resolution of mathematical problems of lengths and parts that involve systems of equations of two variables
