Circle of interest for motivation to the mathematical subject in third grade students

Abstract

Teaching – learning process en Primary Education demands the need for learning to be more developing every day, therefore the teacher must focus on new strategies to enhance motivation toward the subjects taught, allowing a comprehensive development. This process is mediated by the existing relationships between the objectives and contents to be achieved by this age group, in addition to taking into account the teaching reality they have in order to appropriate the contents. The motivational deficiencies identified invite us to reflect on the educational work in Primary Education in the subject of Mathematic. In addition to the use of the circle of interest, as a means of acquiring the contents addressed in this subject, taking into account the variability and potentialities of the students so that greater motivation is achieved toward its study. The objective of this article is to propose some a circle of interest for motivation to learn mathematics in students in the first cycle of Primary School, encouraging students become more interested in these contents, increasing their cognitive and motivational abilities, obtaining a independence on his part, these changes would have an impact on his academic performance, making him work according to his type of learning, encouraging him and not forcing him, thus increasing his mathematical knowledge, hence the effective importance of the proposed circle of interest.
