“The development of mathematics on the first years is crucial and the success of future learning is depending on the quality of the experiments made available for children” (Serrazina, 2008, p. 9). This quote leads us to immediately question which experiments the kindergarten teachers provide to their children. According to our conception, the math learning may be “discovered” by the child himself, in an informal situation, allowing, simultaneously, the development of other skills, such as the verbal and written skill. The child is a creative being that discovers math by observing and exploring the surrounding world. In this communication we present and analyse three daily kindergarten situations at Colégio Novo da Maia that have allowed children from three different age levels to develop some math concepts, such as: counting, patterns and matching. At last, we suggest kindergarten teachers to use their general activities granting the children the opportunity to make their math findings together with their pairs.
