Abstract
The development of a strong foundation in primary mathematics is viewed as a critical outcome of schooling (Goos & Kaya, 2020), contributing to students’ future achievement in mathematics (Siegler et al., 2012). While there are many factors that may influence children’s achievement in mathematics, their enjoyment of mathematics and their teacher’s pedagogical decisions when teaching mathematics are of particular interest, due to their malleability (and opportunity for intervention). Whether the relative importance of these factors in predicting children’s mathematical thinking changes over the primary years is relatively underexplored, however.
