Cover Story: Understanding mathematical concepts is fundamental in developing mathematical competence, starting in early mathematics. However, little is known about how the teaching of concepts can, should, or should not be designed in a preschool setting where play forms the foundation. This study contributes with knowledge about the use of representations in play-responsive mathematics teaching for the youngest preschool children. The analysis distinguishes between two types of experiences of concepts: encountering concepts expressed by others versus expressing concepts yourself. In both types of experiences, different forms of representations can be used. The findings emphasize the role of teachers in enabling different kinds of experiences. The findings also highlight bodily action as a significant form of representation. View this paper
