Abstract
This report presents the findings of the first phase of a professional development project with preschool teachers working alongside mathematics educators. Six preschool teachers were interviewed to identify specific examples of mathematical activity within regular classroom routines such as arrival, snack time, circle time, centres, and clean up. From the interviews the teachers identified a wide range of examples that took place through purposeful planning for circle time and centres. Fewer activities were identified by individual teachers during snack and arrival routines, but collectively they shared several opportunities including sorting, patterning, counting, and measuring. The range of examples demonstrates promise for the collaborative professional development in the next phase of the study.
