Mathematics teaching and thinking development in Basic Education.

Abstract

This article deals with the teaching of mathematics and the development of thinking in Basic Education, a key topic of clear relevance and practical importance. My ultimate aspiration is to mobilize neurons and flip the switches of intellectual curiosity to investigate how to do things better. I present the potential utility of mathematics in solving complex problems and learning to think. A pedagogical perspective is essential for mental development, but it also indicates a biological understanding of mathematics education in the brain. I display the variety of conceptual, procedural, and attitudinal aspects that make up the explicit content of their specific teaching. Also, I show solution procedures, mainly from the heuristic point of view.
