A Didactic Proposal to Develop Critical Thinking in Mathematics: The Case of Tomás

Critical thinking is an essential skill that schools should develop in every student at every level. As it is a complex and difficult task to accomplish, it should be introduced early on in a child’s education, and continue to be developed.
