Abstract
Contents

Teaching Competences in Kindergarten offers stimulating programmes, experiences, workshops and experiments, to activate and develop the skills of children in kindergarten, enhancing the 4 basic cognitive processes: planning, attention, succession and simultaneity

This volume contains eight Learning Units, complete with precise indications for the teacher, materials for children and evaluation grids, designed to deepen three different work areas:

social skills: identity, differences, greetings, rules;
logico-mathematical and scientific skills: workshop activities about the characteristics and properties of the natural elements explained step-by-step, which introduce children to the world of science and the experimental method;
the transition to primary school: continuity and awareness.
