%X The main goal of this study was to analyze the effectiveness of six
educational apps developed for training the cognitive fundamentals associated with
mathematical learning in Early Childhood Education students. 
The mathematical performance of 193 Early Childhood Education students aged
between 57 and 79 months (M=63.3, SD=3.7) from various schools was assessed using
the TEMA-3. They were divided into three groups: two experimental groups and one
control group. Students in the experimental groups underwent a training program in
cognitive processes related to mathematical learning using Apps. A pre- and postintervention comparative analysis was conducted.
The training program with apps showed significant gains in those students who
had low scores in the pre-assessment tests. As expected, students at higher levels also
improved with the training program. However, those students who started at an optimal
level of mathematical learning achieved a significant score improvement, especially in
measures of formal mathematical thinking.
The advantages derived from the use of these Apps, both in
the school environment and at home, are discussed.
