It is used worldwide as one of the most important factors of psychomotor development.

“Children’s Mathematics”
The method was invented by Edyta Gruszczyk-Kolczyńska. Its objective is to facilitate intellectual development of children, especially to create mathematical concepts. In teaching math it is important to be aware of how preschoolers acquire knowledge. Mathematical concepts should not be conveyed through words, explanations or narrations. Preschoolers learn math through personal experience without theoretical explanations. It is the basis on which the children create their own concepts and skills, develop thinking on their own and practice resilience in case a problem arises. During such experiences the children should voice their opinions, define their findings, the purpose of performed activities and the expected outcome. The idea of commenting on their experiences helps children to focus and decide what is important in the process.
