Abstract

In today's contemporary world, the beginning of the 21st century, scientific and technological changes are accelerating and exponential growth so the nursery school needs to create the means to adapt to this whole evolutionary process of humanity. The objective of this work is to suggest innovative practices for the teaching of mathematics in children's education under the perspective of the child's creativity. The teaching of mathematics in children's education must be balanced with activities that can awaken in the child the creativity necessary to reach the solution of the problem proposed. Given this argument and for better learning of mathematics in children's education, we propose some activities associated with children's abilities, among them, numerical, verbal and spatial. It is hoped that this model of teaching and learning mathematics in early childhood education, through the three skills, is connected with the reality of the apprentice child.
