Abstract
In this paper, we report on the interim findings of a study that seeks to identify the characteristics of children’s Critical Mathematical Thinking CMT. Characteristics of CMT were initially generated from a synthesis of relevant research literature and then validated using a case study methodology via trials in early childhood classrooms. This paper provides a framework for CMT distilled from the literature and an illustrative case study of one student to provide tentative evidence that young children’s use of CMT capabilities can be identified. The long term aim of this line of research is to explore the potential to promote CMT capabilities in a targeted manner.
