Erken çocukluk döneminden itibaren matematik becerilerinin kazandırılması, matematiği öğrenme sürecinden olumlu bir tutum geliştirmeye ve akademik başarıya kadar çeşitli alanlarda destek sağlar. Bu nedenle, çocukların matematiği öğrenmelerini ve sevmelerini sağlayacak ortamların oluşturulması önemlidir. Bu bağlamda, 54 ila 66 ay arasında değişen toplam 25 çocuktan oluşan bir çalışma grubuyla gerçekleştirilen tek gruplu deneysel desende, erken çocukluk döneminde geliştirilen açık alandaki matematik programının çocukların matematiği sevme durumları üzerindeki etkisi incelenmiştir. Verilerin toplanmasında Dağlı ve Dağlıoğlu (2018) tarafından geliştirilen “Çocuklar İçin Matematiği Sevme Ölçeği (ÇMSÖ)” kullanılmıştır. Açık alanda uygulanan matematik programı 15 etkinlikten oluşmaktadır. Her bir etkinlik süresi yaklaşık 25 dakika olarak planlanmıştır. Haftada 3 gün, 5 hafta süren açık alanda matematik uygulamalarında rakamlar, geometri, parça bütün, gruplama, eşleştirme ve ölçme konuları yer almaktadır. Araştırmada açık alanda uygulanan matematik programının çocukların matematik sevme durumları üzerinde etkili olduğu, sayma, geometrik şekiller, parça bütün, gruplama ve ölçme konularında son test lehine anlamlı farklılıklar elde edilmiştir.
