Sažetak
Pre-school education aiming at development encompasses design of the Center for Mathematics and manipulative games in the living room for children. Materials of these centers support child exploration, imagination and manipulation i.e. these are the means that help children to learn how to compare, coordinate, calculate and categorize. Their value from the aspect of child's development are that the activities in this center help children develop their intelectual abilities, fine motorics as well as their eye and hand coordination. Through negotiating and problem solving they learn social skills as well. Pre-school children reveal mathematic notions through rhythm and repetitive movement, colour, sound etc. Ready made didactic materials can be used for this purpose but also the means that kindergarden teachers make theselves are equally efficient. The main feature of the materials are that they offer children concrete, systematic experience in counting, enumeration and comparing. In Centers organized in this way the task of the teacher is to equip the living room with different materials that offer a number of possibilities for developing skills of mathematical reasoning, observe children playing and use every oportunity to explain the notions in order to help children arrive at mathematical conclusion on their own. The aim of the paper is to get insight into the organisation and equipment of centers for mathematics and pre-school teachers' idea of their role in center equipment.
