Abstract

The general objective of this research is to determine the incidence of didactic games in the development of logical-mathematical thinking in the preschool stage of the C.E.I R 499 Santa Juana. Zamora Municipality, Falcón state. Theoretically, the study was supported by the approaches of Jean Piaget, Vygotsky. Methodologically, being a field study, of a correlational type, with a quasi-experimental design, being the population and sample a universe of 21 girls and boys, which were divided into two groups: one control and one group. another experimental of ten (10) subjects each, where a pretest and posttest were applied, in addition to the technique of direct observation, obtaining as a result, that the students of the experimental group were motivated when applying the didactic games, the preschoolers did classifications (size, color, shape and figures), series. In addition to using the numerical series from 1-5. In conclusion, through the game the development of children's logical thinking was favored, significantly promoting mathematical learning. Teachers are recommended to apply games in teaching.
