CORTEZ GODINEZ, Romy Adriana. “A minute for Mathematics”. An Experience of Fun, Learning and Outreach Through the Exploration of Numeric Patterns. Educ. mat. [online]. 2017, vol.29, n.3, pp.225-243.  Epub 14-Feb-2022. ISSN 2448-8089.  https://doi.org/10.24844/em2903.08.

This paper shows an experience of popularization of mathematics through the exploration of numeric patterns with concrete material; it is based on games benefits (De Guzman, 2007) and on the use of inductive reasoning to construct generalizations (Osorio, 2012; Cañadas, Castro y Castro, 2008). The results reveal the use of strategies in the search for patterns, collaborative work and motivation toward math. It is concluded that the proposal is a valuable scenario for the purposes of generalization and dissemination of science.
