Pedagogy:
  • Teachers’ questionnaires: two hundred and seventy three teachers of children 3 – 8 years completed questionnaires about children’s mathematical marks and ‘written’ mathematics. The teachers came from four areas of England – three cities and one rural county
  • Telephone interviews: we conducted interviews with a sample of teachers who had completed questionnaires, allowing us to explore aspects of teachers’ beliefs and practice conferencing children’s mathematical graphics;
  • Nursery study – India: conducted in nursery and primary schools in rural southern India, focusing on teaching
  • Study to compare teacher-modelling and teacher-given examples in one of our own classrooms – children 4 – 5 years of age
  • Assessing the contribution of teacher-modelling on children’s developing mathematical graphics. We assessed the effects of teacher-modelling mathematics for genuine purposes during the course of one term, with children 5 – 6 years of age;
  • Creativity and mathematics: teachers’ perspectives. Creativity and mathematics: we explored teachers’ and practitioners' perceptions of creativity in mathematics through questionnaires with over 200 teachers across England. Reflecting on creativity and cognitive challenge.
  • Nursery teachers and practitioners monitoring and understanding the development of children's learning as they progress towards standard abstract symbols and standard written calculations, and analyse and promote the pedagogy that underpins deep level learning in mathematics.
