Exploring mathematics with younger children

A collection of starting points that will enable younger children and their teachers to 'range far and wide in their mathematical activity. In this way the requirements for the National Curriculum for Mathematics can be more than met, with the emphasis upon children constructing their own understanding from a wide range of experiences. This book features: suggestions and prompts for the teacher; suggestions for possible directions to explore; ideas for alternative contexts; children in action - brief comments and responses that provide a flavour of things that can happen; and, illustrations and photographs throughout. It is suitable for early years and KS1.
