This book brings together a collection of research-based papers on current issues in early childhood mathematics education that were presented in the Topic Study Group 1 (TSG 1) at the 13th International Congress on Mathematical Education (ICME-13), held at the University of Hamburg in 2016. It will help readers understand a range of key issues that early childhood mathematics educators encounter today. Research on early childhood mathematics education has grown in recent years, due in part to the well-documented, positive relation between children's early mathematical knowledge and their later mathematics learning, and to the considerable emphasis many countries are now placing on preschool education. The book addresses a number of central questions, including: What is mathematical structural development and how can we promote it in early childhood? How can multimodality and embodiment contribute to early mathematics learning and to acquiring a better understanding of young children's mathematical development? How can children's informal mathematics-related experiences affect instruction and children's learning in different mathematics content areas? What is the role of tools, including technology and picture books, in supporting early mathematics learning? What are the challenges in early childhood mathematics education for teachers' education and professional development?

This book gives insight in the vivid research area of early mathematics learning. The collection of selected papers mirror the research topics presented at the third POEM conference. Thematically, the volume reflects the importance of this relatively new field of research. Structurally, the book tries to guide the reader through a variety of research aims and issues and is split into four parts. The first two parts concentrate on teacher professional development and child learning development; the third part pools research studies creating and evaluating designed learning situations; and the fourth part bridges focuses on parent-child-interaction.

Die neuesten Lehrpläne und Bildungsstandards haben in jüngster Zeit zu substanziellen Veränderungen im Arithmetikunterricht geführt. Auf diese sowie auf weitere wünschenswerte Veränderungen bereiten wir in dieser stark überarbeiteten Neuauflage der bewährten Didaktik der Arithmetik gründlich vor durch:   Vielseitige Grundlegung tragfähiger Zahlvorstellungen Breite Thematisierung von Vorkenntnissen und informellen Lösungsstrategien Betonung flexibler mündlicher und halbschriftlicher Rechenstrategien Sehr differenzierte Analyse des halbschriftlichen Rechnens Viele konkrete Hinweise zum entdeckenden Lernen und beziehungsreichen Üben Vorstellung vielfältiger Zugangswege zum schriftlichen Rechnen Diagnose von Lernschwierigkeiten, Analyse von Fehlerstrategien, konstruktiven Umgang mit Fehlern sowie durch Hinweise zur Förderarbeit Vielfältige Anregungen zum überschlagenden und kontrollierenden Rechnen Gründliche Darstellung zum Einsatz von Taschenrechnern und Computern in der Grundschule Einbeziehung von rund 130 sorgfältig ausgesuchten, überzeugenden Aufgabenbeispielen aus neuesten Schulbüchern – erstmalig in Farbe Das Buch wendet sich an Studierende für das Lehramt im Primarbereich, an Lehramts­anwär­te­rinnen  und Lehramtsanwärter mit Mathematik als Fach sowie an Lehrkräfte, die nach neuen Ideen für ihren täglichen Unterricht suchen.

This book will gather current research in early childhood mathematics education. A special focus will be the tension between instruction and construction of knowledge. The bookincludes research on the design of learning opportunities, the development of mathematical thinking, the impact of the social setting and the professionalization of nursery teachers. "

Der mathematikdidaktischen Aus- und Weiterbildung des padagogischen Fachpersonals im Elementar- und Primarbereich kommt eine besondere Rolle fur gelingende mathematische Bildungsprozesse zu. Denn fur die Beobachtung und Gestaltung mathematischen Lernens ist zum einen fachbezogenes Hintergrundwissen und zum anderen darauf basierende Beobachtungs- und Handlungskompetenz notwendig.

Dieses Buch zeichnet sich dadurch aus, dass wissenschaftliche theoretische und empirische Erkenntnisse aus entwicklungspsychologischer, elementarpadagogischer und mathematikdidaktischer Perspektive explizit beleuchtet werden. Darauf aufbauend folgen praxiserprobte Anregungen fur die Gestaltung und Beobachtung mathematischer Bildungsprozesse.

Das Buch wendet sich an Lehrkrafte an Fachschulen und Hochschulen und eignet sich ebenso fur die Fort- und Weiterbildung. Ferner ist das Buch so aufgebaut, dass es auch fur Studierende und Fachkrafte in der padagogischen Praxis eine wichtige Basislekture ist. Grundschullehrkraften bietet das Buch fachliche didaktische und methodische Ansatzpunkte fur die Gestaltung des Ubergangs Kindergarten Grundschule im mathematischen Anfangsunterricht."
