Evolución de fórmulas corpóreas en procesos de generalización de patrones en estudiantes de cuarto grado de educación primaria

Abstract

This research proposal addresses the teaching-learning of algebra in primary education, prior to the alphanumeric language and from the pattern generalization as an enhancing tool. From a sociocultural perspective of mathematics education, and supported by the multimodal methodology, the evolution of corporeal formulas is investigated, as an indication of algebraic thinking, towards more sophisticated forms in the generalization of pattern sequences. The analysis is made from the three problems of generalization (epistemological, phenomenological and semiotic), supported by the idea that the gestures, movements and signs evidence forms of algebraic thought that have intentions in front of a work of pattern generalization.
