Brief Summary

How might young children’s mathematical understandings might be identified from their interactions with the world and how might preservice and in-service early childhood educators engage with mathematics? These two areas intersect through how knowledge developed around young children’s mathematical understandings can be used with early childhood educators to change how they think about and engage with mathematics.
