description

The person who shapes children’s attitudes towards the given subject and their manners of functioning within the mathematical space is the teacher of early education. Therefore, the latter should display a high standard of mathematical culture, as well as hold mathematical competences on a suitable level. Abstracting and concretizing are among the most important cognitive processes which are indispensable to form and develop mathematical notions. The paper is an attempt at answering the question whether prospective teachers of integrated education possess this vital-from the point of view of didactics-skill.
