| Summary: | This paper explores young children's drawings (6 years old) in early number and addition activities in Malaysia. Observation, informal interviews and analysis of drawings revealed two types of drawing, and gave insight into the transitional process required for children to utilise drawings in problem solving. We argue the importance of valuing and supporting the early development of children's drawn mathematical representations to facilitate their successful use in problem solving processes. |
