Abstract
Objective: to determine the correlation between the psychomotor profile and mathematicalperformance in children between 4 and 8 years. Materials and methods: Cross-sectional studyin 389 in male and female students of 8 public educational institutions of the Barranquilla cityand Puerto Colombia municipality. Psychomotor Profile was evaluated through Vítor Da Fonsecabattery and logical mathematical performance by grade point average during the period ofthe measurement. We calculated the arithmetic mean, standard deviation and proportions, and Pearson correlation coefficient. Results: The mean age was 5,5 ±1,2 years. 60% were female.We found a correlation between psychomotor profile and logical mathematical performanceof 0,12 (p=0,01). Conclusions: there is a direct correlation between the psychomotor profileand logical mathematical performance.
