Abstract

The research was based on the understanding of mathematical notions for the cognitive development of upper basic students of the "Colón Arteaga García" Educational Unit of the Chone Canton, in the period 2021 - 2022. The results of the research are shown, applied to students through a survey, to make known how they interact with a variety of disciplines in their comprehensive development, including Mathematics. Cognitive development is closely related to executive functions as a cognitive process and the relationship of its functioning applied to learning and problem solving. The objective of this research is to check the understanding of mathematical notions and their impact on the cognitive development of students, to achieve this purpose a bibliographical analysis was carried out taking as reference observations made in the Unit. The research has a qualitative approach, in addition to the inductive, deductive, analytical, synthetic, bibliographic and statistical method. It is concluded that the basic notions of mathematics have a positive impact on the cognitive development of students and the ability to learn to learn, achieving meaningful learning.
