The first part of this article defends the need
for a shift from a curriculum based on the
acquisition of content to one oriented
toward the acquisition of mathematical
competence from Early Childhood Education
onward, and argues that mathematical
processes are key to achieving this.
The second part of the article presents the
experience «the roundabout we can see from
the playground», which illustrates a way of
working on mathematics at any early age
using daily life situations and contextualised
problems as a starting point. This form of
educational planning and management
works on content through mathematical
processes, thus encouraging students to
interpret mathematics with the help of an
adult, rather than trying to teach them
pre-constructed mathematics
