Didactic Engineering in the Development of Numerical Thinking

The development of numerical thinking in
primary education is an important aspect of
children’s mathematical training, since it allows
for a general understanding of numbers and
operations in order to facilitate the development
of their handling and application. The work allows
the implementation of a pedagogical strategy
based on didactic engineering, which allows
students to identify and formulate questions
related to the management and understanding of
numbers and their basic operations together with
the decision to approach individually and which
ones in a group way while planning and making
decisions in their development and evaluation of
results. The study is framed in the quantitative
paradigm, in a quasi-experimental design,
working with control and experimental groups.
Pre-test is applied to identify the development of
numerical thinking in students and as a support to
the design of the intervention proposal. Once the
proposal is developed, it is evaluated by means
of a post-test that allows identifying significant
improvements in the numerical thinking of the
children of the experimental group in comparison
with those of the control group. This leads to
the conclusion that the developed intervention
contributes favorably to the development of
numerical thinking in children
