Sobre el sentit de les matemàtiques a l'educació infantil

This article primarily addresses the role of early
childhood education in the progressive acquisition
of mathematical literacy or competence. In
addition, it offers some supporting structures to
teachers at this level, based mainly on
mathematics position statements in early
childhood education in the United States and
Australia. Finally, it documents and explains a
mathematical practice in which a group of
children learn to use mathematical knowledge
comprehensively and efficiently in a learning
context related to daily life. In this way, they
progressively identify and understand the function
of mathematics, demonstrate good judgement
and use and relate to mathematics to meet their
needs as constructive, committed and reflective
citizens.
