Resumen

Una de las dificultades significativas que los estudiantes pueden encontrar al intentar aprobar un curso de Química Orgánica es la necesidad de memorizar mucha información. Esta práctica consume mucho tiempo y a veces el material memorizado se pierde durante los días siguientes a las evaluaciones. Dado a que el uso de mnemotecnias ha demostrado ser eficaz en la memorización a largo plazo, proponemos el uso del Triángulo de las Aldosas como una herramienta práctica cuando se tiene que lidiar con las estructuras de las aldopentosas, aldohexosas y cetohexosas.
