    La enseñanza de las matemáticas tempranas asistida por ordenador, y especialmente cuando se utiliza una pantalla táctil, puede ayudar a que los más jóvenes aprendan operaciones y conceptos numéricos básicos de una manera divertida y profunda. Los autores de este artículo han desarrollado MathemAntics — matemáticas divertidas — un programa para tabletas o pantallas táctiles, con el objeto de que desempeñe un papel clave en la enseñanza de matemáticas para niños de tres años y hasta los primeros cursos de primaria. En este artículo se discute la necesidad de este tipo de programas, se describen y analizan los programas disponibles en la actualidad, se articulan los principios teóricos y de diseño sobre los que se basa el programa MathemAntics y que pueden sentar las bases para el desarrollo de nuevos programas, se presenta un estudio de caso del uso que un niño hace del programa y se describe el potencial de MathemAntics en el aula. Invitamos a los lectores a explorar, investigar y utilizar MathemAntics por sí mismos.

    Computer-based early mathematics education, especially when implemented on a touchscreen device, can help young children learn basic concepts of number and operations in deep and engaging ways. We have developed MathemAntics — antic or playful mathematics — a software system that works on touchscreen tablets, to serve as a key aspect of mathematics instruction for children from age three to the early grades.

    This paper discusses the need for such software; describes and analyses currently available software; articulates the theoretical and design principles that form the basis of MathemAntics and can serve as the foundation for new software; presents a case study of a child using MathemAntics; and describes potential use of MathemAntics in a classroom setting. We invite readers to explore, investigate and use MathemAntics themselves.
