Abstract
The way learning informs teaching and teaching informs learning is the basic component of education. While researching the everyday life of children (Adams, 2014), the way young children work together to support each other’s learning can be observed and explored. Often the support between children occurs beyond the gaze of an adult. In this chapter, the way the more capable other (Vygotsky, 1987) directs the process of mathematical learning is explored in relation to the possibility of collaborative learning, teaching and assessment. The documentation of children’s conversations during play highlights the possibilities for learning, teaching and the assessment process.
