Learning outcomes
At the end of the laboratory, the student: - knows how to apply what was covered in the integrated course within a simulated learning environment; - knows how to reflect critically in a group on the proposed topics.
Course contents
Numerous studies in mathematics education identify the laboratory as the most significant setting for building lasting and solid knowledge. As Bolondi (2019) writes, "mathematics is not learned through contemplation." Mathematics is experienced and explored. During the laboratory, classroom situations will be implemented for preschool and primary school students, anchored in the theoretical elements presented in the relevant course.
These situations will provide opportunities for reflection and experimentation with teaching strategies and practices useful for exploring the conceptual core of the discipline.

Teaching methods
The methodology used is the laboratory one through the activation of problems for both nursery school and primary school.
Assessment methods
Both active participation during the in-person hours and the paper to be delivered to the teacher within the deadlines set during the meeting will be evaluated.The final evaluation contributes to the evaluation of the fifth year teaching exam for a value equal to:
