This book emanated primarily from concerns that the mathematical
capabilities of young children continue to receive inadequate
attention in both the research and instructional arenas. Research
over many years has revealed that young children have sophisticated
mathematical minds and a natural eagerness to engage in a range of
mathematical activities. As the chapters in this book attest,
current research is showing that young children are developing
complex mathematical knowledge and abstract reasoning a good deal
earlier than previously thought. A range of studies in prior to
school and early school settings indicate that young learners do
possess cognitive capacities which, with appropriately designed and
implemented learning experiences, can enable forms of reasoning not
typically seen in the early years. Although there is a large and
coherent body of research on individual content domains such as
counting and arithmetic, there have been remarkably few studies
that have attempted to describe characteristics of structural
development in young students' mathematics. Collectively, the
chapters highlight the importance of providing more exciting,
relevant, and challenging 21st century mathematics learning for our
young students. The chapters provide a broad scope in their topics
and approaches to advancing young children's mathematical learning.
They incorporate studies that highlight the importance of pattern
and structure across the curriculum, studies that target particular
content such as statistics, early algebra, and beginning number,
and studies that consider how technology and other tools can
facilitate early mathematical development. Reconceptualising the
professional learning of teachers in promoting young children's
mathematics, including a consideration of the role of play, is also
addressed.
