Abstract
This article is concerned with the learning of mathematics before the commencement of formal schooling. The experiences of two students are described. Four main sets of data were gathered: formal and informal measures of mathematics achievement, the learning environment in the home, and observations during teacher-led sessions concerned with mathematical concepts delivered as part of the regular pre-school program. Particular attention was focused on the nature and quality of the students' interactions with their teacher during these sessions.
