The obtained results they are had: high percentage in cognitive deficits, few existence of habits of study, few search of advisings and consultations, strategiesmetacognitivas and technological sub-used resources. Likewise, concludes that the nature that these results originate they are: insufficient number of teachers of mathematics in institutions of average education, few academicmotivation on the part of the student, among others.
