Description
The Young Child and Mathematics, Third Edition Angela Chan Turrou, Nicholas C. Johnson, Megan L. Franke A comprehensive guide to teaching mathematics to children aged 3 to 6, focusing on the math inherent in their everyday ideas and experiences. This revised edition explores how teachers can find and build on these mathematical concepts in playful and intentional ways. The book provides detailed vignettes of planned learning experiences and informal spaces where math concepts can be explored, as well as examples of informal documentation and assessment approaches that are embedded within classroom practice. It also offers an overview of children's knowledge of counting, operations, spatial relations, measurement, data, patterns, and algebra. With its focus on the practical application of mathematical concepts in early childhood education, this book is a valuable resource for teachers seeking to deepen their understanding of how math is an integral part of their daily practice.
