Understanding and improving mathematics learning is critically important for both individual wellbeing and a successful society. The ESRC Centre for Early Mathematics Learning (CEML) will focus on children’s early mathematical learning. Research already shows that substantial individual differences in mathematical achievement emerge early and can restrict a child’s future potential.
CEML will study mathematics development in the early years and Key Stage 1, via interdisciplinary studies on mathematical learning and by working with educators to design educational activities and translate research into practice.
CEML launches in June 2022 and is a collaboration between Loughborough University, University of Bristol, University of Edinburgh, University College London, University of Oxford, University of York and Ulster University.
