Understanding mathematics for young children
If the reader is a teacher or student teacher in a nursery or primary school, they need a secure understanding of the mathematical ideas behind the material theywill use in the classroom. To help young children develop their understanding of mathematics, the reader needs to develop their own understanding of how mathematics is learnt.
In this indispensible book, the authors help the reader to understand mathematical concepts and how children come to understand them, and also help develop their own confidence with mathematical activities.
Each chapter of this book includes:
- Real-life examples and illustrations from children and teachers in the classroom
- The research behind some of the concepts and teaching approaches discussed
- Pauses to reflect and discuss the readers own mathematical knowledge and experience
- Age-appropriate classroom activities to try with a class or group.
