Cognitive development of students in solving mathematical problems

Abstract

This research was based on the cognitive development of students in solving mathematical problems of the School of Basic Education "2 de Agosto" in the 2021-2022 academic period. The results of the research carried out through a survey applied to students are exposed, to emphasize the importance of knowledge and cognitive development. The problem of learning focuses on middle school students, especially on the mechanisms of memorization and application of methods and strategies that help solve mathematical problems. An exhaustive study of concepts was carried out to enhance the methods and strategies that help improve student learning. The objective of evaluating the educational model and the practice in the learning processes of the students in relation to their practice in the classroom. The research has a quantitative approach, using the inductive and deductive methods. The technique used was an observation guide during class development to determine the results of the investigation. The result was to change the teacher's methodology according to the previous knowledge of the students, leaving aside the rigor of the curriculum, to avoid gaps in the cognitive level.
