Educ. mat. [online]. 2019, vol.31, n.1, pp.121-143.  Epub June 08, 2020. ISSN 2448-8089.  https://doi.org/10.24844/em3101.05.

For a long time, various agencies, such as the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, have advocated promoting a meaningful teaching of mathematics. As mathematics teachers trainers, we show in this work our proposal of teacher training model in which we develop the mathematical sense through: the identification of capabilities in solving school mathematical tasks, as well as in the identification of specific learning objectives for these tasks. In this model, we review the mathematical capabilities by relating them to different mathematical senses- number, spatial, measurement and stochastic-and exemplify tasks that allow their development in future primary school teachers. Likewise, these tasks develop some capabilities that future teachers could use in their profession, due to the model goes beyond the memorization of the senses and their capabilities, and aims to highlight a functional knowledge of mathematics.

Keywords : Mathematics for primary school teachers; mathematical sense; tasks; capabilities; learning objectives.
