It is important to know that not all children at an early age can engage in logical-mathematical reasoning. Those who can develop it tend to be better at problem solving than those who cannot. In this way, students will develop skills associated with mathematical concepts, logical reasoning, understanding and exploring the world through proportions, finding solutions and comparing results.

In this sense, studies and research in this field have advanced, revealing new teaching methods, confirming that mathematics educators must be at the forefront in this area of knowledge that is currently in constant change. That is why this Postgraduate certificate will offer the professional great innovation regarding Bloom's Taxonomy in the development of Logical-Mathematical Thinking.

Students will broaden their competences in detailed areas related to the learning of mathematical concepts and vocabulary appropriate to carry out a didactic unit. On the other hand, it is an educational program with a highly qualified and experienced teaching staff. It also integrates an exclusive audiovisual content of the highest quality that offers a better experience for the professional due to its dynamism and comfort with the online modality.

For this reason, TECH focused educational excellence and efficiency, providing first class updates with the highest standards, being a program of great flexibility by only needing an electronic device with internet connection to access the Virtual Platform without difficulties from the comfort of the place where you are.
