Summary
The present work deals with the teaching of mathematics in Early Childhood Education. To carry it out, we review the different theories that underpin development and learning according to Piaget and Vigotsky, giving vital importance to the environment, manipulation and play. As well as the theories of behaviorism, cognitivism and constructivism. We also take as a reference the study carried out by (Alsina,2022a) on the Real Decreto 95/2022, modifying it according to the Decreto 150/2022 for our autonomous community, in which we focus on both the aspects of early algebra and of numbers and operations that appear in these documents. Finally we analyse the proper form to teach these contents, in order to create a more complete proposal for the 2nd cycle of Early Childhood Education to complement legislation´s recommmendations.

Summary
This work focuses on a current and urgent issue: the progressive loss of our language, worsened by the lack of intergenerational transmission, the decline in its daily use, and the persistence of linguistic prejudices, especially among young people. An urgent shift in the attitudes and stances of Galician youth is essential, as they are the ones responsible for the future of the language. If they stop using it, it will die. With this study, we aim to understand the language habits of a sample of students aged 10 to 11 from a school in Lugo, the contexts in which they use our language, as well as their attitudes and opinions toward it. This data is gathered through a questionnaire, and based on that, we propose an educational intervention designed to encourage the use of Galician, break down prejudices, and explore other important aspects of the language, such as culture. If the language dies, the culture disappears. Sports, music, audiovisual media... are increasingly present in our society. However, when these are in Galician, they seem distant from young people. By using these familiar areas, we aim to spark their interest and motivation, despite the challenging starting point.
