AB The main goal of this study was to analyze the effectiveness of sixeducational apps developed for training the cognitive fundamentals associated withmathematical learning in Early Childhood Education students. The mathematical performance of 193 Early Childhood Education students agedbetween 57 and 79 months (M=63.3, SD=3.7) from various schools was assessed usingthe TEMA-3. They were divided into three groups: two experimental groups and onecontrol group. Students in the experimental groups underwent a training program incognitive 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 whohad low scores in the pre-assessment tests. As expected, students at higher levels alsoimproved with the training program. However, those students who started at an optimallevel of mathematical learning achieved a significant score improvement, especially inmeasures of formal mathematical thinking.The advantages derived from the use of these Apps, both inthe school environment and at home, are discussed.
