Abstract

It is widely acknowledged that engaging young children with mathematics is both possible and beneficial. Being that young children spend a great deal of time with adults outside of school, this research investigates the beliefs of adults regarding engaging young children with number concepts. Questionnaires were handed out to 91 participants, none of whom were preschool teachers. In general, participants had positive beliefs regarding supporting children’s engagement with various numerical activities. Some differences between participants with different backgrounds (e.g., connections with young children, professions) were found.
