In May 2024 Early Childhood Lecturers from across the Republic of Ireland met at the Conceptualising Early Mathematics conference in Dublin City University. Facilitated by the PLÉ Early Mathematics Special Interest Group, participants came together to explore three questions significant for the future of mathematics in early childhood degree programmes and in turn, the provision of mathematics in early childhood settings. These questions were: 1) how appropriate is Mathematics in early childhood? 2) What level of Mathematics self-efficacy do PLÉ members possess? 3) What mathematics content should be excluded from / included in EC degree programmes? Findings are discussed under these headings.
