CEML’s work is framed around five Challenges. Addressing these challenges will improve our understanding of children’s early mathematical learning and produce research-informed learning resources and professional development.

How do the foundations of mathematics learning emerge in the preschool years?

What are the causal mechanisms that drive mathematics learning during primary school?

How do children’s experiences in early educational settings and at home influence their mathematical development?

How do we design effective educational resources based on an understanding of mathematical learning processes?

What are the most effective ways to impact educational practice?
