  text: 'This chapter presents an overview of the contributions in TSG 1: Early Childhood
    Mathematics Education at ICME-13 which focused on issues from the perspective
    of early childhood educators. A basic assumption of this chapter is that the opportunities
    for young children to develop mathematical understandings and skills are influenced
    by several conditions at a macro, meso and micro level. First, curricula provide
    a framework for early mathematics teaching and learning with varying expectations
    (by teachers) about what can occur in the pre-school environment—informal learning
    (such as through play), content to learn and activities to experience. Second,
    early childhood educators’ mathematical knowledge, pedagogical knowledge, understandings,
    beliefs, and perceptions influence how they enact these expectations. These competencies
    can be developed and supported by professional learning. Third, educational programs,
    resources and activities used in the pre-school environment impact on the mathematical
    opportunities children engage in at the micro level.'
