Psychomotor activities program for development of mathematical skills in initial educations’ boys and girls

Abstract

The discovery of the world is made by the child with his own body and with the assimilation of motor skills, these are skills developed from an early age to reach symbolic, graphic expression and abstraction. That is why the objective of the research is to evaluate the effectiveness of the Psychomotor Activities Program to improve mathematical skills in 5-year-old boys and girls "A" and "B" of the I.E. Nº 083 - Sechura 2014. The methodology used corresponds to the positivist paradigm, with a quantitative approach. The modality was a feasible project with a field research design, of an evaluative nature, of an experimental type. The population was integrated by the 76 students of 5 years "A" and those of 5 years "B" being the sample of non-random and intentional type and was made up of the entire population. The data collection technique was the test and the observation as an instrument the program and the notes. The frequency level and percentage of the statistical method were used as data analysis technique. Among the results obtained is that the 5-year-old children "A" have considerably improved their skills; however, there are children who still need to reinforce their math skills, but to a lesser extent after applying the program. In conclusion, the program has significantly developed mathematical skills in the experimental group of 5-year-old children "A".
