dc.description.abstractThis paper contributes to the Symposium: Research methods involving children’s drawings in mathematical contexts by providing insight into young children’s attitudes towards mathematics through the use of drawings. Children in Years 2 and 3 (n=25) participated in this study which aimed to identify a range of attitudes towards mathematics using the Three dimensional Model of Attitude (Zan & Di Martino, 2007). The analyses illustrate drawings in conjunction with written responses, interviews and classroom observations offers authentic evidence of young children’s attitudes towards mathematics. Further, findings indicate that children’s Vision of Mathematics contributes significantly to their overall attitude.
