CONTENTS:
1. Set theory. Natural numbers. Numeral systems. Divisibility. Instructional materials and resources.
2. Integers. Contexts. Instructional materials and resources.
3. Rational numbers. Fractions. Decimal representation. Percentages. Instructional materials and resources.
METHODOLOGY:
In the theoretical part, the main contents involved in the different units are shown. The student has to review them and he/she can complete the slides by considering the complementary material (included in Sections "Material de estudio y/o consulta" and "Otros recursos" if necessary). After that, it is necessary to solve the practical activities concerning each unit by taking into account that a deep explanation of each one of them is required since the student has to explain the solution as if he/she was the teacher.
Additionally, some practical works are proposed. Some examples are included in the Section "Evaluación".
ACTIVITIES: Included in the Section "Actividades prácticas, proyectos y/o casos".
ASSESSMENT: Included in the Section "Evaluación".
