Abstract
One of the main problems that in Ecuadorian education makes reference to the shortcomings in
the quality of learning mathematics, specifically to the development of cognitive skills, thus
overlooking motor skills and affective elements, in other words, there is not integral learning for
life. Therefore, the aim is to diagnose the level of inter-learning, establishing a suitable strategy
that is in line with performance-based skills for each period in geometry, methods and curriculum
adaptations as well as apply the didactics for inter-learning in geometry with middle school
students. In order to offer a series of applicable and practical tools that optimize the development
of integral skills in students, specifically in topic-based work in geometry, the inductive method
has been used because it adapts to the required needs in both the researching process and the
structuring of the proposed strategy. While collecting data, it was possible to confirm that the
contents of geometry are not applicable in practical life since they are taught theoretically.
Moreover, it was detected that teachers have a need for alternative strategies which help them
improve the quality of teaching. To conclude, with the appropriate use of teaching strategies,
learning is made easier in geometry contents.

1. Introduction
The strategies used for the work of contents in Mathematics and specifically of Geometry and
according to the curriculum of the Education Ministry of Ecuador appear limited within the
