This Open Access book provides an overview of research being undertaken in Europe about young children's (1-8 years old) mathematics education. Exploring a wide variety of different environments wherein mathematics concepts in childhood education, this book encompasses the most important findings of the POEM6 conference. Following feedback at the conference, participants have the opportunity to expand the papers into full length book chapters, which will then be peer-reviewed. This book is especially suited for educators and researchers interested in the development of mathematical conceptualizations in early childhood educational environments.

This book addresses key issues of Technology and Innovation(s) in Mathematics Education, drawing on heterogeneous ways of positioning about innovation in mathematical practice with technology. The book offers ideas and meanings of innovation as they emerge from the entanglement of the various researchers with the mathematical practice, the teacher training program, the student learning and engagement, or the research method that they are telling stories about. The multiple theoretical or empirical perspectives capture a rich landscape, in which the presence of digital technology entails the emergence of new practices, techniques, environments and devices, or new ways of making sense of technology in research, teaching and learning.
