What maths do children engage with in Swedish preschools?

[...]although the Swedish preschool curriculum, implemented in 1998 (Skolverket, 1998), included mathematical topics, such as measurement, shape, space and time, there is uncertainty about whether Swedish preschool teachers introduced children to the full range of these ideas. [...]we classified the activities according to Bishop's six categories and whether the tasks had a pedagogical or an instrumental purpose. [...]we decided that the purpose for the counting was instrumental to the child making sure that he had enough leaves.
