Abstract

The objective of the research is to identify the evolution of children in classification and seriation criteria using the logical blocks of Dienes and to investigate the construction preferences of children during the development of free play. The methodology used was a descriptive study using an observation code, previously constructed. The results showed that color and size are the characteristics that children identify more quickly and with which they are more familiar. A little close to the previous ones is the form. Thickness is the least observed characteristic. At week 7, they begin to carry out serialization for 2 simultaneous criteria, completing it for the majority at the end of 9 weeks. Regarding construction preferences, children prefer to recreate the fantasy world of their stories than the objects of their daily lives.
