Abstract
In the last two decades of XX century and the first
decade of the current one, there has been a reflection
around children as scientists. Some authors propose
to think the scientific activity as a cognitive activity
very similar to what children do in their surrounding world. Within this idea, the development of scientific
skills might be assimilated to certain thinking skills,
specific of research process. Objective. To show
the development of a didactic proposal in the
mathematics area for the development of cognitive
skills, from research process about the nutritional
status of children, taking concepts such as body mass
index and height per age. Materials and methods.
The work was carried out with sixth grade students
in “Felix Henao Botero” educative institution in the
city of Medellin, Colombia. The mathematics area
was the base to develop this project, which also
looked for the student to acquire basic competences
of the course in mathematical thinking required for
the grade. Results. Basic theoretical approaches
in which the project is based, intervention structure
made, as well as obtained results before skills that
might be developed are presented. Conclusion. The
implementation of the proposal allows articulating
different mathematical thoughts and the development
of research skills in one project, without having to
explicitly separate each one of them; this extends the
student’s vision about ways that mathematics make
part of their daily lives.
