Diagrams Present in the Resolution of Problems of Multiplicative Comparison with High School Students

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to identify the use (or not) of diagrams when solving problems of multiplicative comparison in eighth-grade students of the Rafael Antonio Moreno secondary school located in Macaracas, province of Los Santos-Panama. The methodology used is mixed and descriptive with a non-experimental design. As an instrument, a written test consisting of two parts (part a and part b) is prepared, which is applied to eighth-grade students who take the mathematics subject of said study center.
