Abstract
In this paper we analyse the suitability of work spatial orientation in a classroom of Early Childhood Education with 5-year-old children from the perspective of the Realistic Mathematics Education. First, we show the design of an activity whose context is the search for a hidden treasure somewhere in the school. Later, following the guidelines of the kindergarten curriculum and standards of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics to this stage, we analyse what content and mathematical processes are involved in the design. Finally, we examine how the implementation of this activity in a school can help children to investigate about the properties of space, in particular, its 3- dimensionality
