Proyecto Piemsa Plantea, identifica, estructura, matematiza, sorprende y aprende

Abstract

This thesis presents PIEMSA project, a didactic proposal based on problem-solving and focused on entrepreneurship, implemented with 401A and 401B students at Colegio Técnico José Félix Restrepo. Through six phases—Plantea, Identifica, Estructura, Matematiza, Sorprende y Aprende—students created simulated companies presented at a Math Fair.The project aimed to strengthen mathematical skills in real-life contexts, addressing concepts such as costs, income, and profit. It also promoted critical thinking, creativity, and teamwork. The methodology, grounded in meaningful and contextual learning, positioned students as active participants in their own learning process.The results show improvements in conceptual understanding and practical application of mathematics, effectively connecting the subject with the school’s broader educational goals in entrepreneurship.
