Helping to understand the concepts of divisibility Sandra Milena Rueda Caviedes

The aim of the research was to show the mastery achieved by the sixth grade students of the School Presentación Ferias in understanding the concepts of divisibility in natural numbers and their application in solving everyday problems, using educational software as a teaching strategy. The methodological design developed corresponds to that of research with a qualitative approach, with a descriptive scope and an Action Research method, aimed at observing and reflecting on the processes of appropriation of a conceptual body and its use in solving everyday problems. The intervention process starts by diagnosing the level of understanding and application of the concepts of divisibility in natural numbers. Subsequently, a sample of 27 students formulates, applies and evaluates the intervention. The formulation of the applied didactic strategy includes the construction of an educational software as a facilitating resource for the execution of the intervention process. The results obtained show the importance of using ICT resources in education.
