Young Indigenous students' numeracy learning: Oral language, mathematical representations and engagement

对土著学生进行高质量的幼儿教育是入学准备的基本先决条件，而土著父母和社区对成功和可持续性至关重要。我们的试点结果通过证明年轻的土著学生在数学方面是有能力的学习者来对抗陈规定型观念。澳大利亚社区的一部分人没有受到足够的教育，无法分享国家的财富，这是一个重大的社会和经济损失。在计算能力方面取得的最小进步会导致他们无法进行更高水平的数学学习。这项研究建立了数学基础，为评估提供了公平的环境，并支持参与更高水平的数学。

High quality early childhood education for Indigenous students is an essential precondition for school readiness, and Indigenous parents and communities are essential for success and sustainability. Our pilot results confront stereotypes by evidencing that young Indigenous students are mathematically capable learners. It is a significant social and economic loss that a section of the Australian community is not sufficiently educated to share in the wealth of the nation. Minimal progress on numeracy measures results in failure to engage in higher levels of mathematics. This research builds a foundation in mathematics that levels the assessment playing field and supports participation in higher levels of mathematics.
