Abstract
It is known that an appropriately developed foundational number sense FONS or the ability to operate flexibly with number and quantity is a powerful predictor of young children’s later mathematical achievement However until now not only has FONS been definitionally elusive but instruments for identifying opportunities for children to acquire its various components have been missing from the classroom observation tools available In this paper drawing on a constant comparison analysis of appropriate literature we outline the development of an eight dimensional FONS framework We then show by applying this framework to three culturally diverse European grade one lessons one English one Hungarian and one Swedish that it is both straightforwardly operationalised and amenable to cross cultural analyses of classroom practice Some implications are discussed
