A Strengths Approach to Birth to 3 Mathematics Education: The Case of Banjo Childcare Centre
MacDonald, Amy; Murphy, Steve
Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia, Paper presented at the Annual Meeting of the Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia (MERGA) (43rd, Singapore, 2021)
This paper contributes to the Research Symposium, "Strengths approaches in early childhood mathematics education" by providing an illustration of how an early childhood centre adopts a strengths approach to mathematics education for birth to three-year-old children. A case illustration is drawn from a current Australian Research Council-funded study focusing on mathematics education for children under three years of age. The case is analysed and described using a five-step strengths-based framework. [This paper is the second in a symposium of three papers. For the first paper, "An Introduction to the Strengths Approach," see ED616177. For the third paper, "Leadership of Strengths-Based Approaches for Early Years Mathematics Education: Using CHAT as a Framework for Educational Leaders' Professional Learning Leadership," see ED616189.]
