Investigación en Estimación en Matemáticas, Pensamiento Numérico, Currículum.Resumen
Investigadores del Departamento de Didáctica de la Matemática de la Universidad de Granada que forman parte del Grupo de Investigación “FQM193. Pensamiento Numérico” han estado trabajando desde 1985 en estimación, una de las componentes del pensamiento numérico. En este trabajo se hace una revisión global de las aportaciones más relevantes de este grupo de investigación en estimación; se comienza por una reflexión teórica y curricular, se hace una revisión de la literatura de investigación y se describen algunas de las investigaciones realizadas en el seno del grupo de investigación.Descargas
