Abstract

This article presents a training experience carried out with a group of prospective Early Childhood Education Teachers on logical reasoning at an early age. The key moments of the process followed are described in general terms and the development of a professional task focused on the design of structured materials and activities for 3-6-year olds is shown more broadly. It is found that the prospective teachers recognise the importance of planning and designing activities with structured materials to promote logical reasoning in young children. They also identified the difficulty they have in exploring qualities beyond shape, colour and size. Most of the activities they propose are focused on identifying and relating and very few on operating
