El uso del pensamiento narrativo como una herramienta de comprensión de las matemáticas en contextos reales

Abstract

Math language has been understood as a closed process, it is overwhelmed of different rules, processes, and some stipulated laws which only allow an analysis way. It seems like those unidirectional classical models have deformed the idea about the math process and its reality. Some standardized tests have demonstrated that students show a considerable difficulty when they relate notions and math knowledge to real contexts. That difficulty is related to the process of explanation and understanding into each narrative´s situation. Therefore; short stories perform an important role in order to reach a better understanding and it makes new meaningful exercises feasible. This talk shows a didactic communicative strategy in a way students understand how to solve math problems by encouraging narrative thinking in a pragmatic view of the language based on a tool of the resignified word: comic strip.
