Guía didáctica para fortalecer el pensamiento lógico matemático en niños de 5 a 6 años mediante juegos digitales

Abstract

The main objective of this work is to obtain a didactic guide to strengthen the logical mathematical field in children aged 5 to 6 years through digital games. It seeks to provide an educational tool that combines learning with entertainment, making basic mathematical concepts accessible and attractive to children. Logical mathematical thinking becomes essential for children's cognitive development and is basic for their future academic success. The guide is based on the implementation of recreational activities following a learning process in which the use of digital games is implemented as the last phase to capture the interest and attention of students, thus facilitating their learning about basic mathematical concepts in a fun way and interactive and help them acquire and develop skills in key areas of logical mathematical thinking, such as: counting and numbers, patterns and sequences, shapes and spatiality, among others. The need for the development of this guide arises through the observation made in pre-professional practices where the scarce use of digital tools is evident within the process of reinforcing topics in the logical-mathematical area and lack of teacher training on the management of educational technologies. Additionally, motivation and lack of interest in traditional math learning can further hinder your academic progress. In the end, an increase in children's interest and motivation in mathematical activities is expected, highlighting the effectiveness of digital games as educational tools for which recommendations of some digital resources available on the Internet are provided.
