Resolución de problemas, Estimación, Modelización, Educación Secundaria ObligatoriaResumen
En este artículo presentamos una propuesta didáctica para introducir la modelización en las aulas de Educación Secundaria. La propuesta presentada se basa en el uso de un conjunto de problemas de Fermi orientados a estimar el valor de grandes cantidades. Para concretarla se utilizan los resultados de un estudio previo en el que se describen las estrategias propuestas por los alumnos a este tipo de problemas.
