Abstract
Learning is an active enterprise‎, ‎where three dimensions stand out‎, ‎cognitive‎, ‎social‎, ‎and‎ ‎physical‎, ‎and‎,
‎in addition‎, ‎not all students learn in the same way‎. ‎Grounded on these ideas‎, ‎this‎ ‎article reports a study
that aims to understand and characterize the performance of pre-service‎ ‎teachers when experiencing
active learning strategies during their mathematics classes‎. ‎The‎ ‎participants were future teachers of
primary education that experienced‎ ‎paper folding‎, ‎a gallery walk‎, ‎and a math trail as active learning
 strategies‎. ‎The results of the study show that the participants valued these experiences‎, due to their
 potential in the development of a diversity of mathematical concepts and abilities‎, ‎and throughout
 them showed traits of cognitive‎, ‎social‎, ‎and physical engagement‎. ‎Although more research is
needed‎, ‎the results encourage the use of active learning strategies as a valuable approach to
teaching and learning.
