• Resumen

  • The main objective of mathematics education is to provide students with the tools and techniques to solve problems. Therefore, efforts are concentrated on finding the best teaching strategies. This paper proposes to extend the traditional approach by considering non-numerical aspects that influence the understanding of mathematical problems. In particular, it analyses how the way in which the statements are presented affects reading, comprehension and understanding, essential elements before performing any calculation. To this end, the ideas of psychologist and Nobel Prize winner DanielKahneman on how first impressions and instinct can be superimposed on logical and rational thinking are highlighted. Taking into account this theory and other studies on the influence of the presentation of texts on our comprehension, a practice is proposed that develops several mathematical problems, called letter problems, applied in the classroom to evaluate their effectiveness. The results obtained have been satisfactory, indicating the viability of this methodology in the classroom and reinforcing Kahneman’stheories. In conclusion, this innovative approach shows that the way in which mathematical problems are presented can significantly improve students’ understanding and problem-solving
