Abstract

This article presents two visualmaths problems with multiple possible answers, and an analysis of the verbalizations and actions produced by two groups of 5-year-old childrenwhen solving them using supportmaterials. The problems are illustrated by a temporal sequence of three pictures (initial problem, partial solution, and final result),with one of them not shown. Children are divided in groups and, through discussion, they have to agree on how to solve the problem and represent it on paper. Thismethodology allows the children to take an active role in theirmathematics learning, stimulating participation and interest in problem-solving, and encouraging them not only to think of a solution but also to put it into practice.
