Abstract

This article aims to propose some formation actions in mathematical modelling for teachers of early years of education system as well as outline topics of research raised from the review of studies that analyze mathematical modeling in elementary school. To do so, we present modelling practices that have been legitimized in literature. We have also discussed researches that circulate in the field of Mathematics Teacher Education in the early years and outlined some formation actions in mathematical modelling. Finally, we point

out some research topics that have raised from those analyzes that can contribute to the consolidation of research on formation of teachers of early years in mathematical modeling and to understand the peculiarity of the
modelling practice in that education level.
