Let's Count is a preschool mathematics intervention implemented by The Smith Family from 2012 to the present in "disadvantaged" communities across Australia. It is based on current mathematics and early childhood education research and aligns with the Australian Early Years Learning Framework. Let's Count has been shown to be effective in enhancing mathematics learning and dispositions of young children, early childhood educators, and families through a longitudinal evaluation undertaken from 2012 to 2015. In this chapter, the authors explore the development, implementation, and evaluation of Let's Count and highlight the importance of adults noticing, exploring, and talking about children's mathematics. The findings from the longitudinal evaluation of Let's Count suggest that when adults notice children's mathematics, then children's learning thrives, and the positive dispositions and confidence of parents and educators increase. Let's Count has made a positive difference for many children and adults across Australia.
“一起数数”是史密斯家庭组织于2012年至今在澳大利亚各地“弱势”社区实施的一项学前数学干预项目。它基于当前的数学和幼儿教育研究，并与澳大利亚《早年学习框架》相一致。通过2012年至2015年进行的纵向评估表明，“一起数数”在提高幼儿、幼儿教育工作者和家庭的数学学习及素养方面是有效的。在本章中，作者探讨了“一起数数”的发展、实施和评估，并强调了成人关注、探索和谈论儿童数学的重要性。“一起数数”纵向评估的结果表明，当成人关注儿童的数学时，儿童的学习就会蓬勃发展，家长和教育工作者的积极素养和信心也会增强。“一起数数”为澳大利亚各地的许多儿童和成人带来了积极的影响。
