Abstract:
There are many reasons for teaching mathematics from an early age, related to the important role mathematics plays in modern society, the fact that children from a very young age have the ability, potential, and interest to learn mathematics, and the fact that they possess early informal mathematical knowledge. While this early knowledge can lay the foundations for learning formal mathematics, it can also have a negative impact on school performance due to its diversity (e.g., informal knowledge at different levels).In order to bridge the gap in early informal mathematical knowledge among young children and reduce the risk of learning difficulties in formal mathematics education at higher levels, it is recommended that teachers use conscious teaching practices and designed teaching interventions that support quality mathematics education. In this context, the exploratory approach, as an innovative pedagogical practice for teaching mathematics, proposes the construction of knowledge through collaboration, communication, and reasoning, emphasizing not only the cultivation of the cognitive domain and the acquisition of mathematical knowledge, but also the social and communicative domain, resulting in the cultivation of a variety of abilities and skills necessary for students in the present and in the future, for their role as active, conscious, and intelligent citizens. The need to support prospective and current teachers in meeting the above "requirements" led to the writing of this book. This book presents and discusses theoretical, research, and educational issues necessary for the search, design, selection, evaluation, and preparation for use of materials and activities with the aim of approaching basic topics in early school mathematics (numbers and operations, patterns, space, plane shapes and geometric solids, length, area, statistics, and probability) through an investigative approach.
