Maulfry Worthington and
Elizabeth Carruthers are
Founders of the international Children’s Mathematics
Network, established in 2003. They have both taught in
the full 3 – 8 year age range for over 26 years and have
carried out extensive research in key aspects of early
mathematics, with a particular focus on the development and
pedagogy of children’s early written mathematics (children's
mathematical graphics). They are winners of several national
awards for their work with children and teachers on
children's mathematical graphics.
The Children's Mathematics
Network explores the independent research we have
conducted into children's mathematical graphics
during the past 18 years, through our research
and
publications. Our work is
independently acknowledged and our book
Children’s Mathematics: Making
Marks, Making Meaning is used as a key text in the
field of early years mathematics education of courses and of
symbolic representation relating to literacy and numeracy. |
