Mathematics a world of discovery
The aim of teaching mathematics is not only for children to learn the
traditional arithmetic rules, units of measurement, and some geometric notions, but rather
its main purpose is for them to solve problems and apply the concepts and
mathematical skills to thrive in everyday life.
Other authors such as Ausubel, Bruner, Gagne, and Vygotsky were also concerned.

children when they carry out a mathematical activity, leaving behind the narrow framework of the
observable behavior to consider internal cognitive processes.
That is why during the practical sessions held in the period covered
from July 5 to 9, 2021 in Ixtepec, Oaxaca, due to the situation that is being

Work was done with the fifth grade of primary education, with 3 children.
corresponding to the grade, it was really difficult for me to work with mathematics and
I really had to prepare myself in order to conduct the sessions, given the situation that is happening.

Not only did I work with the subject of mathematics, but also with others, being

I could notice that out of the three children in the class, two were really
interested in having the class.

many reasons, perhaps it is because in elementary school they taught it to me in a way that was not very
attractive or because I had to work on mathematics out of obligation and not because I wanted to

According to Piaget (1999), cognitive development begins when the child or
girl, assimilate those things in the environment that surround them with the reality of their own
structures, so that before starting formal schooling, the
the majority of children acquire considerable knowledge about counting,
the number and arithmetic.
Upon seeing that just one child struggled too much to understand the topic, I decided to work.
