Abstract
This paper (one of three) 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.

| Other | MERGA is concerned with the promotion of quality teaching of mathematics and mathematics education at all levels, through critical study and reflection on practice and theory. Work accepted for presentation at the conference will be related to mathematics education at pre-school, primary, secondary, vocational, and/or tertiary levels or within informal and workplace settings. The theme for MERGA43 is Excellence in Mathematics Education: Foundations and Pathways. This theme provides an important platform for participants to consider the critical nature of our research and the ways we can use our findings to influence the field of mathematics education and educational policy throughout Australasia. |
