Making ‘Dinner Registers’
One day when her teacher called the dinner register, Natasha brought
a piece of paper and a pen to make her own. Natasha focused on the
concept of a list and included some ticks and circles as she’d seen
her teacher do. |

that are not counted |
Gemma (4 years, 4 months): Early explorations with
marks |
Alice (5 years, 3 months): Representing quantities
that are counted |

Gemma wanted to join in and used marks
with some approximations of circles and crosses (to denote either
packed lunches or school dinners) and Alice represented the
children’s responses in two columns, in a way that was easy to check
when she’d completed it (she also drew her own packed lunch box in
the centre). Each example shows
the child’s current thinking as she used ways of representing to
help her think about the data. Their interest led many other
children to choose to make their own registers during the term.
