Back to Gerpref MARENE
The resources of the “Learning the concept of numbers for preschoolers” software kit are the
result of the collaborative work within the MARENE Group.
We are very interested in receiving feedback on experiments run in class. If you have any
comments please contact: [email protected] or [email protected]
Acknowledgements: we would like to thank Michel Guillemeau and Typhaine Le Méhauté for the
design of the “Cars and Garages” and “Passenger Train” software programmes.
Learning situations combining the software programme and related
equipment.
We offer two learning situations designed for developing the concept of numbers for which we
have created software programmes and related equipment.
