Barns matematikk
I forskergruppen ser vi på hvordan matematikk kan læres og undervises i barnehagen gjennom lek.
I stedet for å bruke skolematematikken som mål for læring og undervisning av matematikk i barnehagen, vil forskergruppen bruke Alan Bishops idéer om seks matematiske aktiviteter som er universelle for alle kulturer, til å begrepsliggjøre hva matematikk i barnehagen kan være.
Denne måten å tenke om matematikk på vil gjøre oss i stand til å utforske hva som påvirker læreres og barnehagers tilbud om læringsmuligheter i forhold til disse matematiske aktivitetene.
Vi er spesielt interessert i å finne ut hvordan bredere samfunnsmessige endringer, for eksempel innføring av ny teknologi eller endring i demografien for barna som går i barnehagen, kan ha innvirkning på ulike grupper av barns muligheter til å lære matematikk som relevant for deres nåværende og fremtidige liv.
Forskergruppen Barns matematikk er en undergruppe av forskergruppen Matematikkdidaktikk i et kritisk perspektiv.
