Teaching to change ways of experiencing numbers – An intervention program for arithmetic learning in preschool

• This paper reports on an eight months long intervention program with eight five-year-olds in Swedish preschool. Four main activities were designed to enable the children to discern part-part-whole relations of the first ten numbers. The aim of this paper is to present how progress in children’s arithmetical skills are associated with the activities they have encountered in the intervention program. Learning outcomes based on pre-, post- and delayed interviews show that the participating children made distinct progress in the way they experience numbers, with long-term effects on their arithmetic skills. In this paper we discuss the analysis of what was taught and what was learnt incommensurable terms.
