Virtual balance as a learning strategy of first-degree equations with one unknown

Abstract

The research seeks that the learning of mathematics itself be a little more attractive to the student when solving first degree equations with one unknown, it is very common for students to enter the upper level of basic general education present multiple difficulties since they not only have to solve numbers but also letters, and to minimize this problem, the objective was to apply m the virtual scale as a strategy for learning first-degree equations with an unknown of the eighth-year students of the Educational Unit Jose Maria Velasco Ibarra. The research is of a quasi-experimental type since it studies a before (pretest) and after (posttest) of applying the virtual resource, it has a qualitative approach since the total score of the knowledge test is valued, from which a low percentage of results was obtained. progress in learning the equations of the first degree with one unknown, considering that it was applied in an institution in the rural sector and in two moments, to obtain a better result of the investigation, the time of applicability should be extended, despite this it is identified that the students improve some difficulties in identifying terms and solving operations with first degree equations with an unknown number of positive and negative integers.
