Abstract
Modern understanding of elementary mathematics is based on modern understandings of psychological, primarily cognitive development of a young child, and also of the modern theories of learning and teaching. In recent years, especially rapid development marked psychological research on the development of cognitive functions and intelligence. However, there is still no set off attitude about what factors are decisive in mental, intellectual development of the individual.
Different interpretations of this problem mostly go in three directions as follows: first direction - according to which cognition overall knowledge reduced to external conditions, of the experience and audiovisual performances; the other direction emphasizes the importance of hereditary factor and inner maturation, so the role of education is reduced to practice what is established from the beginning and the third, which emphasizes the creative nature of man, with special emphasis on children's activities, which must be directed.
The findings about visual, acoustic and spatial sensitivity are particularly important for understanding spatial relationships, and characteristics of attention, memory, thought and speech of preschool children.
In this paper, using the method of theoretical analysis, descriptive method and based on participatory observation conducted in some kindergartens in Stip, R. Macedonia, we tried to find answers to several questions: How preschool children learn math? How child / student learn, experiences and adopt mathematical terms? Which and what strategies, methodological approaches applied educators? What needs to change?
