Alberto Sousa Sanganjo — 2024-08-01

The present study aims to analyze and present the main teaching models for the basic operations of Mathematics for students aged 5 to 12 years old, through an integrative review, in order to understand the different pedagogical approaches used to teach addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division in this age group. To achieve this objective, an integrative review of the literature was conducted, which consists of a comprehensive analysis of relevant scientific studies related to the topic, consulting academic databases such as EduCAPES, Google Scholar, focopublicacoes, and Scielo, using specific keywords such as "model," "model of teaching basic operations," and "teaching Mathematics in the early years." From the analysis of the 4,600 articles consulted, several effective models for teaching the basic operations of Mathematics to students aged 5 to 12 were identified. Among the most promising teaching models are the combined teaching model, the use of educational games, manipulative materials, contextualized problem-solving strategies, personalized teaching, and the use of technology. Therefore, these models are efficient and fit the context in which the authors of this work are involved, and their adoption or implementation can contribute to improving the teaching of the basic operations of Mathematics for students aged 5 to 12, taking into account the context, characteristics, and individual differences of the students.

Monitoring diseases in wild plants and animals is crucial to measuring the success of environmental policies and management in Ecuador, and it is also presented as an invaluable educational tool. Its effective implementation not only prevents the spread of diseases and protects biodiversity, but also serves as an academic basis to raise awareness and train future generations of scientists and citizens committed to sustainability. The study aims to synthesize the causes of the appearance of diseases in wild plants and animals and evaluate the impact of climate change on ecosystems, to develop educational and research programs in the Amazon region of Ecuador. As part of the methodology, reliable and relevant sources of information were selected from specialized databases, which allowed not only to identify relevant studies, but also to pose specific educational challenges around disease monitoring. Ecuador, being a megadiverse country, offers a perfect setting for students and academics to actively participate in epidemiological surveillance, sample collection, and laboratory testing, thus enriching their academic and practical training. It is concluded that, for successful monitoring, it is necessary not only to develop specific programs that systematically collect data, but also to design educational strategies that motivate and train participants, strengthening their understanding of the importance of the health of ecosystems and their conservation.

The aim of this study is to improve Mathematical Communication (MC) in the Teaching Learning Process in the TLP. This study is qualitative, analytical-descriptive, which evidences a tool with an informative, relational and didactic dimension in order to offer quality learning in Mathematics, through the resolution of exercises and problems that leads to the understanding of the transfer of a natural communication (oral and written) to the symbolic, from there to the graphic and vice versa. It can be considered that the essence of the eductional, pedagogical and teaching-learning processes are communicative par excellence, which led the first author to investigate mathematical communication (MC), involving pedagogical communication and its antecedents and global perspectives. It is concluded that, in addition to the general conceptions that characterize education in the Republic of Angola, established from the normative documents, considerations about the (MC) are made in the TLP. The didactic strategy contributed to the improvement of the TLP in the school in question.
