An Algebraic Lego Focused on the Resolution Learning of Second Degree Equations

Abstract

Mathematics is a dynamic subject, in which the use of manipulative and easy-to-use tools favours the acquisition of concepts, the visualization of mathematical methods and the learning of easy mathematical rules, allowing this way an active learning that evolves per the intellectual development of each participant, which is the centre of the teaching-learning process, becoming him in its leader. In this work, an algebraic LEGO has been used as a manipulative tool to teach second degree equations, including its use in the mathematics programme as a pedagogical strategy. Its use in the classroom has brought important benefits in the first cycle of secondary, especially in the second year of the ESO, when the students study for the first time these type of equations, improving their understanding and encouraging them.
