This edited book brings together for the first time an
international collection of work focused on two important aspects
of any young child's life - learning mathematics and starting
primary or elementary school. The chapters take a variety of
perspectives, and integrate these two components in sometimes
explicit and sometimes more subtle ways. The key issues and themes
explored in this book are: the mathematical and other strengths
that all participants in the transition to school bring to this
period of a child's life; the opportunities provided by transition
to school for young children's mathematics learning; the importance
of partnerships among adults, and among adults and children, for
effective school transitions and mathematics learning and teaching;
the critical impact of expectations on their mathematics learning
as children start school; the importance of providing children with
meaningful, challenging and relevant mathematical experiences
throughout transition to school; the entitlement of children and
educators to experience assessment and instructional pedagogies
that match the strengths of the learners and the teachers; the
importance for the aspirations of children, families, communities,
educators and educational organisations to be recognised as
legitimate and key determinants of actions, experiences and
successes in both transition to school and mathematics learning;
and the belief that young children are powerful mathematics
learners who can demonstrate this power as they start school. In
each chapter, authors reflect on their work in the area of
mathematics and transition to school, place that work within the
overall context of research in these fields, predict the trajectory
of this work in the future, and consider the implications of the
work both theoretically and practically.
