Abstract

The use of problem-solving as a teaching alternative in mathematics teaching represents a fundamental strategy for promoting active, meaningful, and contextualized learning. Instead of focusing solely on memorizing procedures or passively transmitting knowledge, this methodology invites students to engage directly in problematic situations that require reflection, analysis, and the search for solutions. Therefore, the objective of this article was to analyze the uses of problem-solving as a teaching alternative in mathematics classes. To achieve this goal, a qualitative methodology based on an essay-type text will be used. Using problem-solving as a teaching alternative in mathematics teaching not only improves students' cognitive and metacognitive skills but also transforms the classroom into a dynamic space where learning becomes an active and interactive experience. This strategy prepares students to face complex challenges in different academic and everyday settings, fostering a positive attitude toward mathematics and developing essential skills for their overall education.
