Abstract
This paper promotes the importance of noticing young children's mathematical strengths. It draws on the philosophical positions of children's rights and competence to propose a shift in the ways in which all involved might notice the mathematical engagement, understandings, experiences and practices of young children. Noticing children's mathematics generates the potential for educators to document learning and to respond in ways that promote ongoing engagement in areas that are of relevance and interest for young children.
