- In this paper expressions that children themselves use to describe rela- tionships between phenomena in the world, is - when placing a mathe- matical gaze on them- viewed as everyday mathematical concepts. The aim of the paper is to illuminate children ́s use of everyday mathematics in their social interaction. More specifically, the aim is to show in detail how four- to five-year-olds use everyday mathematical concepts to de- scribe, argue and negotiate order of turn, in this case in their interaction around a computer at a Swedish preschool. The case study is based on five 4 to 5 year old children ́s activities involving a computer at a munici- pal preschool in Sweden. The children ́s interaction around the computer was video recorded and analyzed in detail from a participant-oriented perspective on interactional conduct. The analysis shows that the chil- dren use various expressions that can be interpreted as everyday mathematical concepts as communicative cultural tools in their social interaction. Furthermore, the results show that the children have actual use for these concepts in their argumentation for order of turn, and that the concepts they use seem to be most sufficient in their argumentation in this situated activity. A conclusion is that the everyday mathematical concepts used in the analyzed activity can form a foundation for develop- ing more formal mathematical concepts.

- Abstract: The Swedish preschool curriculum emphasizes children’s learning through play. This means that children’s learning in everyday practice is accomplished through a complex mixture of teacher-led activities and activities the children themselves initiate. When learning is viewed as situated and constituted through social interaction (Lave & Wenger, 1991), almost all social events have learning potential. Consequently, from an educational and a curriculum point of view it is important to raise the question of how children’s learning can be made visible, and determine what kind of learning children’s own initiated (play) activities imply. The focus of the paper is on children’s (aged 3-5 years) “communities of practice” at the computer during “free play” period in two various Swedish preschools settings. Events of peer interaction are analyzed in detail to illustrate what kind of learning activities are going on at the computer, and to discuss these events of potential learning in relation to the curriculum goals and the educational practice. From a curriculum point of view, the analyses show that the children’s activities at the computer involve a variety of events that might provides for learning that can be viewed as goal-oriented. From the children’s point of view, the project of socialization seems to be the most prominent goal. A crucial point for educational success, however, is to understand not only what the object of learning is, rather what motivates children’s play apprenticeship in their own “communities of practice”.

- I denna studie ligger fokus på svenska fritidshems fysiska lärmiljöer och hur fritidshemslärare beskriver att de arbetar med att utforma och utveckla fritidshemmets miljö och i förlängningen vilka handlingserbjudanden detta kan möjliggöra för eleverna. Studien bygger på samtalspromenader med fritidshemslärare där de olika miljöerna filmats och där lärarna beskrivit sina intentioner med utformningen av dessa. Datamaterialet har analyserats tematiskt. Resultatet visar att möjligheten att råda över lokalerna kan ha betydelse för fritidshemmens möjlighet att erbjuda en variation av fysiska lärmiljöer och handlingserbjudanden. I analysen har återkommande typer av lärmiljöer kunnat urskiljas där fritidshemslärarna planerar för olika handlingserbjudanden. Resultatet visar även att eleverna beskrivs som medskapare av miljöerna och att de finner egna möjligheter till handling i planerade miljöer. Samtidigt visar analyserna också att fritidshemslärarna beskriver hur de reglerar och styr elevernas samspel med miljöerna i linje med olika normer och regler i fritidshemmen.
