Mathematical Actions Triggered by Artistic Installations by Children Aged 0-3
Abstract
This study analyses the mathematical actions
carried out by 0-3 year-old children
in artistic installations, understood to be
aesthetic spaces which prompt the children
to participate and foster their development.
The artistic installations have
been organised within a mesospace in
which body movement is needed to be
able to carry out a comprehensive analysis.
A total of 85 children aged from one
to three participated in the study, carrying
out actions in two different artistic installations.
The results show that the younger
children perform fewer mathematical
actions (linked to sensorial qualities and
quantities), but that the number of actions
increases and also diversifies in relation to
all blocks of content (sensorial qualities,
quantities, positions and shapes, measurable
attributes) as the children grow.
