Edma 0-6: CHILDHOOD MATHEMATICS EDUCATION (ISSN: 2254-8351). Journal managed by the Research Group “Mathematical Education” of the University of Valladolid. Edma 0-6 journal understands Mathematics Education as a shared challenge. For this reason, the journal shows, on the one hand, a multidisciplinary spirit, encouraging research conducted by researchers from different areas or integrating knowledge from different disciplines. On the other hand, a vision of community, understanding as necessary protagonists in the improvement of Mathematics Education to multiple agents, starting with the students of the Pre-Primary and Primary stages together with their teachers and also paying attention to the role of families, teacher educators and policy makers and stakeholders.
Current Issue
We are pleased to present in this issue the second part of the monograph that includes the ten points of the position statement of the Research in Early Childhood Mathematics Education (IEMI) group of the Spanish Society for Research in Mathematics Education (SEIEM), the first five having been published in the previous volume of July 2025. This time, issues related to play in Early Childhood Education, the curriculum, the affective domain, families, and initial and ongoing teacher training are addressed. The monograph only makes sense as a whole, since it has been conceived from a global, inclusive and transformative perspective shared not only by the people who have participated in the authorship of each article of the decalogue, but by a broad team of researchers committed to mathematics education in early childhood education, represented and endorsed, mainly, by the Research Group in Early Childhood Mathematics Education (IEMI) of the Spanish Society for Research in Mathematics Education (SEIEM).
We hope that this new monograph will not only be enjoyed by those who choose to read its proposals, but that, together with the previous volume, it will stimulate the implementation of actions that enrich and further enhance the value of mathematics education in early childhood.
The monograph section of this issue is complemented by two regular articles in the Articles section, as well as a review of an interesting new publication.
