The early numeracy research project: developing a framework for describing early numeracy learning

This paper describes the development of a framework of key aspects of early numeracy learning. The framework was developed as part of a project seeking to identify processes for supporting and enhancing numeracy learning in the early years of school. The framework built on work of others, through considering key research in numeracy learning and others' attempts in developing such frameworks. Data collected from interviews with over 5000 children led to modifications of the framework.
