Ikuspuntu berriak umeen zenbatze-ekintzari buruz: Piaget-engandik harago

Abstract

Counting is, perhaps, one of the first mathematical activities that  children use to do. Parents and caretakers offer to children multitude of situations in which they can learn the numbers and their use. These early activities leave an interesting question: Do children understand what they do while they are counting? This article  reviews the attempts to answer to this question. At the beginning the piagetian perspective related to arithmetical abilities of children will be explained and, next, data about the understanding of numbers of  children younger than 6 years will appear on. The article will finish reviewing the research done about the abilities of children younger than 2 years old to notice quantitative characteristics of the stimulus.
