The objectives of this study are: a) to analyze teaching practice of Early Childhood Education inservice teachers in relation to the teaching of numerical and linguistic notation; b) on the basis of
the results obtained, to design a teaching model of these systems of representation valid for initial
and ongoing teacher training. Data was obtained through questionnaires administered to 59
teachers from different parts of Spain who attended a teacher training course. The results show
that: a) teachers hold different views about what, how and when to teach both notation systems; b)
these views are often inconsistent with psychoevolutionary and curricular aspects. The
triangulation of this data with the findings of preliminary has resulted in the proposal of a model
under the auspices of realistic learning to improve the teaching of numerical and linguistic notation
in Early Childhood Education. The model proposes six phases: 1) Verbalisation of own ideas; 2)
Contrasting of one’s own ideas with knowledge required for teaching: psychoevolutionary and
curricular aspects; 3) Observation of own practice and joint reflection; 4) Formulation of probing
questions; 5) Well-informed design of new teaching practices; 6) Evaluation of new practices for
improving teaching
