Mathematics Teaching: Assessment of Process and Practice in early Stages of Educational System

The current orientations, approximately mathematical education, imply the want to favour the acquisition of mathematical competitions from the primary a long time. It is uncovered, besides the truth that during those ages the numerical understanding is key for different mathematical leanings, and there may be emphasized the significance of the mathematical tactics to gain as a result a higher performance within the day by day existence. With the aim of analysing the practices of education of the wide variety of the teachers of the first a while (4-8 years), and to analyze at the presence of the mathematical strategies, an instrument has been designed by using precise indicators that permit to examine the presence (or no longer) of these processes within the above stated practices. The instrument of evaluation includes five categories that represent 5 mathematical strategies proposed by means of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM, 2000): decision of issues, reasoning and test, verbal exchange, connections and representation. For each of the kinds there contribute seven signs of evaluation. The analysis of the information goes to permit to explain, first, the strengths and weaknesses in the practices of schooling gaining knowledge of of the mathematical techniques; and secondly, relevant statistics goes to be received to return it to the lecturers, to speak about and to give them precise guide in terms of the important expertise for the pedagogy of the belief of quantity in childhood.
