THE DISSEMINATION OF THE MAISON DES PETITS GAMES IN SPAIN

Abstract

The Discat material, created by Mina Audemars and Louise Lafendel in the Maison des Petits, in Geneva, has been used by its creators for the mathematical learning of children between 3 and 8 years. This work studies the dissemination of this material in Spain, between 1925 and 1936, using as sources the books, magazine articles, catalogues of school supplies and commercial advertisements that were published in Spain at that time.
