Abstract

Mathematics, specifically in the field of Algebra, becomes complicated for students to understand and this is reflected in their low academic grades. Additionally, in the results of reports of the international program for the evaluation of students in which Colombia is located with a lower score than the OECD average. This problem generates stress and anxiety, which can affect their ability to concentrate and retain information. The social and affective environment can also be an important factor in the learning of algebra. The methodology used for the selection of documents was systematic mapping. A total of 138 documents were found and, applying inclusion and exclusion criteria, 40 of these were selected. The most relevant current trends were found, which are the use of educational software and strategies such as gamification. It is important to find effective didactic tools that have the capacity to teach algebra in an effective way to students.
