Outdoor kindergartens are an educational model that has been implemented with great success in Central and Northern Europe, the United States and Asia. This model uses manipulative materials and encourages interest and curiosity in nature. This paper presents a didactic proposal aimed at 5-year-old pupils in a Spanish school and focused on solving the additive problems of a stage in an outdoor context. The sample is made up of 23 children who are in a pre-operational stage, are able to count a minimum of 20 objects establishing a one-to-one correspondence and are at a stage of evolution of attention capacity. The proposal consisted of 6 sessions, in which transformation, combination and comparison problems were worked on. Among the results were how the students solved the problems more easily through manipulation and a different environment than in their usual classes. Also, children who showed lower logical-mathematical skills were able to solve the problems by counting all the elements, while other children with a higher cognitive level used a wider variety of techniques
