ABSTRACT In this article we review the impact the design and implementation of an intensive programme that explores mathematical concepts through voice and movement has, to complement the previous work carried out in the core area of mathematics in early childhood education. An extensive body of research related to nonmusical outcomes and the benefits of music education in academic achievement, indicates the positive impact that artistic activities have in personal, cognitive and academic spheres. This kind of approach illustrates an entwined way of working which stimulates experiential learning through movement and singing that enhances content learning in different areas of the curriculum. By means of a case study in a rural one-single room school in-depth data involving multiple sources of information (participant observation, video-recordings, photographs, interviews and field notes) was collected, allowing an analysis of the degree of acceptance and usefulness activities which relate to music and mathematics have in early childhood education. The research suggests that the creative use of different materials in attractive experiential activities can help enhance mathematical thinking in early childhood.

通过音乐增强幼儿的数学思维

摘要在本文中，我们回顾了强化计划的设计和实施的影响，该计划通过语音和动作探索数学概念，以补充先前在幼儿教育数学核心领域中开展的工作。与非音乐成果和音乐教育对学术成就的益处有关的广泛研究表明，艺术活动对个人，认知和学术领域具有积极影响。这种方法说明了一种交织的工作方式，该方式通过运动和唱歌刺激体验式学习，从而增强课程不同领域的内容学习。通过农村一间单人间学校的案例研究，深入的数据涉及多种信息来源（参与者观察，录像，照片，访谈和实地记录），可以分析与幼儿教育中的音乐和数学有关的接受程度和有用性。研究表明，在有趣的体验活动中创造性地使用不同的材料可以帮助增强幼儿的数学思维能力。
