| Summary: | The development of human mathematical thinking plays a crucial role in problem-solving and significantly contributes to individual and social progress. This article presents the results of a study aimed at contributing to the development of mathematical thinking through geometric modeling and problem-solving among eighth-grade students at a public institution in the department of Cundinamarca. Analysis of the PISA and SABER test results revealed the low performance of Colombian students in problem-solving and modeling. Furthermore, the results obtained from the implementation of two exploratory activities reveal limited skills in these two processes. Within this framework, eight educational activities were designed and implemented with advanced mathematical content adapted to age and educational level. These activities linked two fundamental processes: geometric modeling and problem-solving, and two processes intrinsic to the fundamental processes: mathematical visualization and sense-making. A qualitative approach was used with a participatory action design, eight rubrics, video and audio recordings, participant observation, and a final survey. The results show that students made significant progress in developing problem-solving skills in simulated or real-life contexts, relying on geometric modeling and mathematical visualization, where they constructed robust mathematical concepts, giving them meaning and significance. It is concluded that the organization and planning of practical mathematics teaching under the four processes contributed significantly to the robust development of students' mathematical thinking. |
