• Abstract:

  Soft skills affect the way of acting and working to adapt to the context and the objectives pursued, hence their importance. These are learned in the family environment and are developed with practice in society, that is, they adapt and transform to help face challenges according to the evolving cultural environment. They allow adjusting to changes and facing them in the school environment, with an attitude open to learning, change and continuous improvement; the central point of this research is to know how soft skills strengthen the development of mathematical thinking in high school students. The qualitative research with case study conducted in the differential calculus learning unit at CECyT 16 "Hidalgo", shows that beyond the logical-mathematical knowledge, these interpersonal skills allow students to address challenges effectively and completely, where: abstract learning, understanding of concepts, solving exercises, applying theorems and/or properties, solving everyday problems induce teamwork, creativity and adaptation to change; leadership and decision making are some roles in which schoolchildren work day by day in the classroom. For the IPN (National Polytechnic Institute), soft skills are a complement to the technical training of its students, fostering an integral development and critical thinking that questions arguments with foundations.
