SUMMARY
Learning mathematics in primary education requires the search for strategies supported by current and innovative technologies and resources that are part of the times in which we live and the technological world in which students find themselves. In this article, we advocate learning mathematics in different learning contexts, informal, non-formal and formal contexts, assuming that mathematics learned in each learning context can contribute to improving learning in other contexts. We consider that the use of open educational resources (OER) in different learning contexts is a fundamental element to support the learning of mathematics. We present examples of repositories and websites with digital educational resources and the exploration of an OER in the field of mathematics, at primary education level.
