Experimentando el pensamiento métrico - espacial a través de minecraft

Abstract

This paper presents a didactic proposal that aims to enhance metric-spatial thinking in eighth grade students using area distribution from the implementation of the game, in this case Minecraft, as a didactic resource that enables the development of meaningful learning in eighth grade students of the Liceo Creativo Libertad school. This proposal proposes seven activities focused on the understanding of concepts such as: area, perimeter, units of measurement and distribution of areas, highlighting the importance of enhancing metric and spatial thinking for the construction of skills around the mental representations that the subjects make of the different geometric objects, their relationships and all the implications, in addition to the understanding of the notion of magnitude, measurement, quantity and the appropriation of these notions in situations of the everyday environment.
