Abstract

In this article we carry out a didactic proposal with the students of the Master which name is “Teacher training in E.S.O and Bachillerato” at Complutense University in Madrid, in the Maths speciality. This proposal consists in the Scratch programming of Euclides Algorithm for the Greatest Common Divisor. This methodology which mixes Maths and programming, let the students work with the main elements of Advanced Mathematical Thinking such as abstraction, formalization and generalization.
