Teaching Methodologies
The lectures will be of theoretical and practical nature, they will look for provoking and promoting in the pupils the participation and reflection about the mathematical concepts and processes. It can resort, if it is suitable, to the use of teaching and learnig contexts related to the second cycle mathematics of Basic Teaching.
The methods will be various such as: exposition, discussion and critical analyses, offer of tasks. Colaborative pratices will be promoted.
The assessment in this CU will be performed by students in one of two ways:
a) Continuous assessment: 2 tests during the semester, each rated from 0 to 4 values (40%), participation in the tasks performed in the class, quoted, in total, from 0 to 5 values (25%), a small group work, quoted from 0 to 6 values (30%), individual reflection, quoted from 0 to 1 value (5%).
b) Evaluation by exam.
