Abstract

This contribution addresses young children development of spatial competences, and investigates the didactic potentialities offered by a programmable robot. The theoretical framework addresses the delicate relationship between space as lived in everyday experience vs space as a mathematical notion, and takes a multimodal perspective on mathematics teaching and learning. An experimental study has been conducted in kindergarten school. The qualitative data analysis of video-recordings constitutes the background against which children spatial development is discussed.
