Desarrollo del número y la aritmética en niños de tres a ocho años de edad

Abstract:

This monographic work is situated in the field of Basic Education, specifically in the area of Mathematics. The development of number and arithmetic (addition and subtraction) is an important issue in the educational field because these competencies pbkp_redict children’s performance and future mathematical development, therefore, the aim of this study was to know the developmental process of number and arithmetic in children from three to eight years old and investigate how to stimulate this development according to the literature. This monograph is divided into three fundamental chapters in which the development of number and arithmetic (addition and subtraction) are theoretically studied, as well as playful activities that allow such development. For this, a documentary-descriptive research was carried out, which consisted of reviewing pertinent bibliographic material about the study variables, and systematically analyzing and synthesizing the most outstanding information collected. It was evidenced that the development of number and arithmetic (addition and subtraction) are closely related to each other. It is necessary that this development follows an appropriate learning trajectory, which allows strengthening and internalizing these skills progressively, which will serve as the basis for the construction of more advanced formal mathematical competencies. For this reason, it is necessary to provide children with a playful and experiential teaching, which makes use of concrete material and is oriented to properly promote the development of number and arithmetic
