Counting at Home

This project looks at how parents help children learning to count home in order to deliver new understanding of children’s early mathematical experiences..

The project is being carried out as part of the Centre for Early Mathematics Learning for which the University of Edinburgh is a co-investigator. 

We would like to understand more about how children learn to count and how adults support them. We are interested in what children and adults say and do. As part of this project we will audio and video record about 8 children counting with a parent/carer.

If you are interested in taking part in the study or have any further questions please contact Professor Andrew Manches (a.manches@ed.ac.uk) or Dr Julie Smith (Julie.Smith@ed.ac.uk)
