Elementos matemáticos para el pensamiento crítico from edX

La aritmética y el álgebra son dos de los pilares de las matemáticas que se usan frecuentemente tanto en situaciones de la cotidianidad como en los cursos de matemáticas universitarias. En este MOOC se abordan algunos temas de estos pilares en el marco de las matemáticas básicas cuyo estudio y comprensión brindarán herramientas para resolver problemas relacionados y estudiar temas posteriores. Se presentan además algunas situaciones relacionadas con matemáticas críticas, invitando a los participantes a la reflexión alrededor de problemáticas actuales.

El curso Elementos matemáticos para el pensamiento crítico hace parte de una serie de cinco MOOC en los que se persigue desarrollar competencias básicas en los campos de (1) matemáticas, (2) lecto escritura, (3) inglés, (4) competencias vocacionales y (5) competencias informacionales, manteniendo como componente transversal la reflexión y el análisis crítico que suscitan las situaciones de Justicia Social.
