Abstract

This research theme is the teaching of mathematics in kindergarten. Today the first stage of basic education. The aim of this study is to present analysis of the number of the construction process and identify it is relationship with the main concepts of the additive field. We seek to highlight the number of the construction of the additive field for children from kindergarten at the age of five years, enrolled in a preschool class in a school unit in the municipality of Duque de Caxias the research is in an interventionist and exploratory study, following the principals of ethnographic inspiration. The intervention project for this study was divided into three blocks: The first block consists of play of the oral tradition and group games; a second block with track game matches and the Third block with the resolution of prototypes problem of the additive field. Our main theoretical framework was built from Piaget studies of the construction of the number and the theory of conceptual fields Vergnaud. As a Result point to the confirmation of the relationship between the number of the construction process and the additive field, since the resolution of the problem of this field contributed to the construction process of the number of children surveyed.
