Abstract
This research shows a new methodology to teach math fractions. It is based on a neuro-pedagogical approach where students have to create their own educational real-world game called “Hands on work” using recycled material. The experiments were done in two schools in Apurimac-Peru with 2 teachers and 36 students divided in two groups of 18 students. For this research we used two types of methodologies: Nominal Group for teacher’s opinion and Direct Observation for student. The results show us that, according teacher’s opinion the second stage called “Hands on Work” was the main activity to reinforce the student’s knowledge. In the other hand, 17 students who use this methodology (real world game +software game) could get 70 points between 2.3 and 4.3 min, compared with the other style (only software game) in which 13 students get 70 points between 3 and 5.5 min.
