In this paper we present statistical analyses of three textbooks used by Swedish teachers to support year one children's learning of mathematics. One, Eldorado, is authored by Swedish teachers, another, Favorit, is a Swedish adaptation of a popular Finnish series and the third, Singma, is a Swedish adaptation of a Singapore series. Data were coded…

Sayers, Judy; Marschall, Gosia; Petersson, Jöran; Andrews, Paul – Early Child Development and Care, 2021
This paper presents an exploratory study of English and Swedish teachers' perspectives on the role of parents in year one children's learning of number. Drawing on the results of semi-structured interviews, data from each cohort were analysed independently to ensure the cultural integrity of any response categories and the results of this process…

Petersson, Jöran; Sayers, Judy; Rosenqvist, Eva; Andrews, Paul – International Journal of Early Years Education, 2022
In this paper, motivated in part by evidence that Swedish teachers are sceptical of parents' abilities to offer appropriate support, we present an exploratory investigation of the activities Swedish parents initiate to facilitate their year-one (first grade) children's learning of mathematics. Data, derived from 25 semi-structured interviews…

Sayers, Judy; Petersson, Jöran; Rosenqvist, Eva; Andrews, Paul – Education Inquiry, 2023
Motivated by earlier research highlighting Swedish teachers' beliefs that the setting of homework compromises deep-seated principles of educational equity, this paper presents an exploratory study of Swedish parents' perspectives on homework in their year-one children's learning. Twenty-five parents, drawn from three demographically different…

Petersson, Jöran; Sayers, Judy; Rosenqvist, Eva; Andrews, Paul – Oxford Review of Education, 2023
In this paper we present analyses of three textbooks currently used in the teaching of mathematics to year-one children in England. One is an established English-authored textbook, while the others are Singaporean-authored imports promoted by government as solutions to perceptions of systemic failure. Every task in each textbook was coded against…

Andrews, Paul; Sayers, Judy – Early Childhood Education Journal, 2015
It is known that an appropriately developed foundational number sense (FONS), or the ability to operate flexibly with number and quantity, is a powerful predictor of young children's later mathematical achievement. However, until now not only has FONS been definitionally elusive but instruments for identifying opportunities for children to acquire…

Andrews, Paul – Mathematics Teaching Incorporating Micromath, 2006
Recently, a multinational team of researchers on a European Union-funded project examined the teaching of mathematics in the age range 10-14 in England, Flemish Belgium, Finland, Hungary, and Spain. In this article, the author (who was a member of this team) discusses how the physical and social characteristics of schools create the conditions for…
