Professor Caroline Cohrssen and Dr. Danielle Harris share their insights into enhancing mathematical understanding in early childhood and secondary education, emphasising the importance of purposeful communication and responsive engagement in early years to foster mathematical thinking beyond basic counting and shapes and visualisation strategies in secondary education to encourage students to articulate their problem-solving skills through developing their spatial skills.

They also highlight the role of family involvement and the significance of recognising mathematical play in everyday activities and stress the need for a continuum in education, bridging early childhood and formal schooling, to build confidence and capabilities in mathematics.
