Geometric Terminology of Preschool Children
Original language description
Mathematical concepts that develop in preschool education can be divided into five main areas. They are geometry in plane and space, basic set manipulations, the area of multiplicity, logical and combinatorial thinking, algorithmic thinking. The authors are more deeply interested in children's geometric ideas. A broader research project Geometry in Preschool Education (GPPE) was conceived. Geometry in preschool education includes the following topics:• Orientation in plane and space,• Geometric shapes in plane and space (solids)• The whole and its parts• Similarities and symmetry• Basics of measurementThe contribution will present partial results of the pedagogical experiment Geometric shapes in the plane and in space.The pedagogical experiment was implemented in 2023, in a state kindergarten. 52 children between the ages of 3 and 7 took part in the experiment. Due to the nature of the experiment, the interview method was chosen in conjunction with qualitative reflection. All the children involved cooperated willingly. During group work, natural cooperation between younger and older children was evident. The conducted experiment confirmed that children of preschool age have knowledge of geometric shapes in a plane and in space. Age-appropriately, they begin to use correct geometric terminology. The level of knowledge depends not only on age, but especially on the stimulating educational environment in kindergarten and family. The findings will be reflected in the undergraduate training of future kindergarten teachers. The obtained data also provide suggestions for further research investigations.
