Abstract: Given the new direction and focus toward education in the early childhood sector, this PhD research study will investigate the mathematically-rich interactions that are occurring in three early childhood settings. RQ1: What constitutes a mathematically-rich interaction in the early childhood centre? RQ2: How do early childhood educators plan and scaffold for mathematically-rich interactions? RQ3: What role does the physical and socio-cultural environment play in the mathematically-rich interactions? RQ4: What role do children play in scaffolding each other’s mathematically-rich interactions?
