Abstract
The Let s Count pilot early mathematics program was implemented in five early childhood
educational contexts across Australia during 2011. The program used specifically formulated
materials and workshops to enlist the assistance of early childhood educators to work with
parents and other family members of children in their settings to help develop these
children s awareness, confidence and skills in early mathematics. The pilot program was
evaluated by the authors of this paper using a multi-methods approach. The evaluation was
focused on the success of the Let s Count program in bringing early childhood educators,
parents and other family members together, to enhance children s mathematical engagement,
learning outcomes and dispositions.
