This work mapped out the production in Mathematics Education in kindergarten and the Early Years of elementary school, from the abstracts of papers published in the WG 01 the VI SIPEM. About the qualitative approach of phenomenological-hermeneutical nature, we sought to answer what reveal the abstracts of papers published in this event on research in mathematics education in the aforementioned education levels. The disclosed aspects are articulated in four categories that say: 1) the internal characteristics to research; 2) the focused and interrogated; 3) of answered and 4) of authorship and link institutions of the authors. Overall the research are located on the border between pedagogy, psychology and mathematics, converging with the demands of the area and point to the importance of designing a teacher education not only concerned with the mathematical concept of the field, but with the understanding of the relationship between mathematics concepts and language of these natural language, favoring the teaching process.
