Abstract
The use of semiotic resources in the teaching and learning of mathematics has a rich history in mathematics education. This paper explores how Key Word Signs can be used as a communication strategy, providing opportunities for children and teachers to communicate their mathematical ideas. We report on the initial phase of research, which involves identifying signs that are developmentally and conceptually appropriate for preschool-aged children. In doing so, we share our findings of 20 Key Word Signs that can be used in the teaching and learning of position and direction concepts
