This article presents a study on the challenges in teaching mathematics in early childhood education. The study was based on the qualitative, descriptive with non-experimental design. Childhood is a singular stage of human development, where the child develops positive attitudes when he comes into contact with mathematics, even if he maintains contact only with previous knowledge in the family environment and social life. Matematization plays a central role in the development of proficiency, matematization processes must permeate all learning and teaching activities. It is emphasized that teachers should also be based on mathematical foundations in order to effectively facilitate progress in the development of children. The teacher uses the game as a discovery learning approach.
