Problems from an International Math Olympiad problem. Purposes and didactic considerations.
Abstract
Although the importance of the problems and their didactic treatment in the teaching - learning of Mathematics is totally recognized by the scientific community, there are still difficulties associated with the need to modify exercises and problems considering the beliefs, needs and potential of the students. In this sense, difficulties are revealed and alternative solutions are presented for different purposes. Variants of problems and didactic considerations are presented on the basis of a geometry problem of the International Mathematical Olympiad held in 1978, the transformations of the problem are carried out in terms of basic contents and levels of exigencies, aspect of central importance in the differentiation of the teaching - learning, which can serve as a model for a better preparation of teachers.
