With the change of government in
England, there is yet another change to the early childhood
curriculum (and no doubt will impact on the teaching of
mathematics)! The new documents relating to these changes are listed
below.
Understanding Children’s
Mathematical Graphics: Beginnings in Play
The example below is
included in chapter 10 of our forthcoming book.

Written number and
quantities: early written numerals; numerals
as labels; explorations with symbols; representing
quantities that are not counted |
Finnian’s age
(nursery)
Finnian was aware that he was younger and smaller in
stature than the other children in his group.
Taking a pen Finn emphasized his exact age on a
nearby whiteboard explaining ‘I’m not three
and a half! I’m three and three quarters…
Look. This is how you write ‘three and a half’ [the
line of symbols at the very top] and this is how you
write ‘three and three quarters’!’ [the remaining
symbols in the centre and lower down].
Not
only had Finnian used symbols to explore fractions,
he understood (and used) symbols to persuade.
