K-2 "Make It Count" Students' Views of Mathematics
Leder, Gilah; Forgasz, Helen
Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia, Paper presented at the Annual Meeting of the Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia (MERGA) (35th, Singapore, Jul 2-6, 2012)
Data from an attitude survey administered to students in grades K-2 from four schools participating in the "Make it Count" project are reported in this paper. Few differences were found in the attitudes and beliefs of the Indigenous and non-Indigenous participants. The relevance of these findings for students' longer term mathematics performance is also considered.
