Abstract

The research had the purpose of demonstrating that the use of virtual playful tools and mathematical logical thinking in EGB students of the "Bachillero" Educational Unit. In this sense, a quantitative approach was proposed in order to generate statistics through the results obtained with respect to the declared variables. At the level of results, it is evident that there is significant learning when using the PhET simulator because the student can visualize the exercise three-dimensionally. The opposite occurs when the teacher explains the same exercise on the blackboard. Finally, it is proposed as conclusions that, contrary to the control group, these students achieved significant learning, since the images provided by the PhTE simulator allowed them to visualize the proposed fractional numbers in a three-dimensional way. It is worth mentioning that, with the use of this type of simulator, students also show greater motivation and interest in learning.
