Graphic of the Month
Sam’s marks
Spontaneous marks that young children
choose to make within their play provide powerful and meaningful
contexts.
Bradley (3.5 years) had been playing in
the writing area with the calculator for about 15 minutes, making
marks as he looked at the buttons on the calculator. He told his
teacher ‘my dad’s got one of these’. Sam (3. 6 years old) was
nearby, watching as Bradley used the calculator and made his own
marks on paper as he did so (above). Marks such as these are an
important feature of young children’s early mathematical development
concerning symbols.
