Abstract

As part of an educational project proposed in Italian preschools, an educator followed a tested protocol proposing two chosen iPad apps to children of ages 5 to 6. Though her interventions were supposedly aimed at strengthening the number sense of the children, the result was a homogenization of their schemes, in various cases seemingly inhibiting development of number sense.
