What is Perceptive-Motor Method

In this chapter, there is an introduction of the problem of methodologies and strategies for learning and/or teaching mathematics in primary and secondary school. The first methods are the symbolic-reconstructive and perceptive-motor. For the authors, the problem about contemporary teaching is characterized by the relationship between mathematics and electronic technology. Finally, a new didactic approach will be proposed. It is called “from concrete/virtual-concrete to abstract” and it consists in the introduction of a new computer-based phase, called graphic-numerical, in a good traditional didactic path.
