This chapter reports on a study of fairness in young children. Its aim is to examine how preschoolers respond to mathematical problem-solving contexts that imply fairness and the claim of sharing and distributing. The results suggest that by the age of four, children are cognitively and socially capable, at a certain level, to transmit from their own state of mind to that of the others, overcome self-interest and understand, expect and prefer fairness, while distributing justice.
