Abstract
This chapter reflects on the challenges that arise when it is intended that all students can experience an Education 5.0 and proposes a set of practical actions that may support teachers' educational practice. It analyses and discusses a study involving 18 primary teachers and their 358 students (ages 6-10), which informed specific adjustments in some educational technological games about mathematics and confirmed, or not, several of the potentialities that intentionally underlined their design. The analysis focused on some problematic aspects related to moving towards an Education 5.0, which allows the integration of digital technologies in a more meaningful way in the learning process, aiming at the development of critical and creative thinking and collaborative work. Finally, suggestions are systematized about the development of quality educational technological tools and teacher training.

Becoming a Mathematics Specialist Teacher Leader: Impact Stories From Early Childhood Teachers
Pedagogical content knowledge is the overlapping part of a teacher’s mathematical content knowledge and a teacher’s pedagogical knowledge of teaching and learning. Having a strong PCK enables a teacher to choose appropriate instructional strategies (e.g. games, manipulatives, technology) embedded within a structure (e.g. cooperative learning, inquiry, problem-solving) to successfully deliver the mathematics content. A person who has great knowledge in mathematics may still not possess pedagogical content knowledge.
