Problemas Descriptivos de Fracciones

Abstract

ResumenEn este trabajo se presenta un estudio sobre los problemas verbales de fracciones que ha transmitido la tradición escolar. Se trata de problemas descriptivos, porque su contexto es una historieta o narración pseudorealista que no pretende dar respuesta a ninguna situación verdaderamente práctica. Mediante el análisis didáctico e histórico-epistemológico se aporta claridad metodológica sobre estos problemas de fracciones, al identificar sus distintos tipos, sus estructuras, sus lecturas analíticas, sus reglas, fórmulas y métodos de resolución.

AbstractThis paper presents a study about fractions word problems, which the school tradition has transmitted. They are descriptive problems because their context is a story or a pseudorealistic narrative not intended to address any truly practical situation. Through the rational and historical-epistemological analysis of these issues, methodological clarity is provided on these fractions issues, identifying their types, structure, analytical reading and methods of resolution.
