Abstract

This paper aims to analyze the importance of acquiring mathematical skills in the primary education stage within the framework of the key competences highlighting their contribution to the development of a mathematical culture of society, hence the importance of the issues addressed in this paper. After giving a description of what the competence approach entails in education, we will focus on the constructivist methodology applied to the area of mathematics to finalize with the elaboration of pedagogical guidelines that facilitate the teaching and learning process of mathematics in the stage of primary education.
