Knowing Mathematics of primary schools within the framework of the current discipline, and along its historical development; being aware of the value, the need, and the nature of mathematical reasoning and of it symbolism.


Knowledge and understanding:
- know the elementary mathematics of pre-primary and primary schools, making use of disciplinary, epistemological and historical elements, reflecting on primordial and basic mathematical concepts, on the nature of mathematical reasoning and its argumentative techniques, on the extension of the theoretical field of mathematics and mathematical symbolism;
- integrate mathematics in the field of culture, as a gateway to scientific thought in its philosophical matrix and its links with techniques and arts.
Ability to apply knowledge and understanding:
- promote the ability to consider mathematical and scientific literacy in pre-primary and primary school from a superior point of view.
Making judgements:
- encourage the opening to renewal of teaching practices through the combination of historical, epistemological and didactic research on the basic concepts of mathematics.
Communication skills:
- develop a superior vision on mathematical language, on symbolism, on representation, on the network structure of mathematical concepts and on approaching reality by setting and solving problems.
Learning skills:
- promote skills and interest in the constant study and tireless updating in the field of elementary mathematics, history and the epistemology of mathematics, through books and articles, conferences, courses and conferences, with discernment and depth.
