Learning Stories Making Mathematics Learning Visible
In early childhood settings narratives that capture children's learning as they go about their day-to-day activities are promoted as a powerful assessment tool. However, in the New Zealand context there is increasing concern that learning stories currently downplay domain knowledge. Data from teacher interviews and samples of learning stories suggest that many teachers prefer to document and analyse mathematics learning that occurs within explicit mathematics activities rather than within play that involves mathematics.
