This article highlights the importance of the development of mathematical thinking of children taking into account that there are ways of learning mathematics that occur before living experiences in school, in a more natural, spontaneous way and using to a large extent the observation and the imitation. These learnings, called informal, are vitally important for the suitable formal learning of mathematics which must be developed based on them and taking into account the emotions of children. Such considerations should be very present in the initial and continuous training of pre school and primary teachers and thus provide better elements to encourage meaningful and more enjoyable children’s mathematics learning.
