This project would not have been possible without the active input and support of a number of practitioners, teachers and schools. We are very grateful to the Early Years settings, primary schools and the associated practitioners, classroom assistants, teachers, principals, and managers who worked with us. Most importantly, we would also like to recognise the contribution of the children who engaged so willingly in the planned mathematical activities and from whom we have learned so much.

Our team has changed over the years of the project. We are grateful to Lorraine Harbison, Córa Gillic, Miriam Ryan and Kathryn Crowley, who contributed so much to this work in the earliest stages of the project.
We are particularly grateful to all the teachers who were willing to share their practice and without whom this project would not have been possible:
