Abstract
Let s Count is an early mathematics program that has been designed by The Smith Family
and the authors to assist educators in early childhood contexts in socially disadvantaged
areas of Australia to work in partnership with parents and other family members to promote
positive mathematical experiences for young children (3-5 years). A longitudinal evaluation
of Let s Count was undertaken in 2012-2014 involving 337 children in two treatment
groups and 125 children in a comparison group. This paper shares preliminary results from
the evaluation. Overall the findings demonstrate that Let s Count was effective.
