Abstract

Objective: Conduct a detailed review of the soft skills contributions to early math learning. Methodology: A qualitative/ interpretative method was applied that took as a technique the revision of documents for the extraction of contributions derived from research in the last 15 years. Findings: Soft skills should be fostered in all educational settings, because with the constant changes in educational and productive settings it is necessary to give the individual more resources for their integral development. Application: The soft skills apply to promote the learning of subjects such as mathematics, as they promote a dynamic interaction between the child and knowledge which can give results in the short, medium and long term.
