Mathematics in early childhood: Nourishing and nurturing Te Kakano

Authors
Abstract

Mathematics learning in early childhood education is strongly supported by existing resources of a mathematical framework (Te Kākano) and a curriculum tool, Te Aho Tukutuku. With the publication of the update of Te Whāriki, this article revisits these three resources in order to identify important threads of mathematical learning. A discussion of mathematical practices with examples sets out possibilities for further strengthening of early childhood mathematics.
