| Summary: | This study addresses the implementation of "La Shagra" as an innovative pedagogical strategy to enhance learning of addition and subtraction among first-grade primary school students. The main objective was to improve understanding and mastery of these basic mathematical concepts using a practical and contextualized approach. Conducted at the Marpi Educational Center, located in the Indigenous Reservation of Chiles, Municipality of Cumbal, Department of Nariño, Republic of Colombia, this research employed a mixed-methods approach with a group of 12 students across several sessions. Following the stages of action research, tools such as surveys and the standardized test called Basic Mathematics Competence Test were employed. These instruments served both in the diagnostic phase to identify the students' initial difficulties and in the evaluation phase to measure their progress. The results indicated a significant improvement in students' comprehension of addition and subtraction concepts and increased confidence when performing mathematical operations. Additionally, there was greater participation and collaboration during the learning process, suggesting that the strategy effectively fostered a dynamic and participative learning environment. In conclusion, implementing "La Shagra" proved to be a valuable tool for strengthening basic operations learning in primary-level students, highlighting the importance of practical and contextualized approaches in mathematics education and the creation of motivating educational environments. |
