Description
Help young children become aspiring mathematicians who love numbers and shapes with practical ideas from Linda Pound. This guide shows how to encourage numeracy skills by linking maths to everyday life situations, making it a playful cross-curricular activity. The book covers topics such as exploring shapes, space, measures and patterns, and provides ideas for making maths more fun using games, humour, stories and rhymes. It also discusses how to create an environment for mathematical development indoors and out, and how practitioners and parents can become more confident in their use of maths. With its user-friendly approach and abundance of practical ideas, this book is essential reading for early years practitioners and students on Early Education courses.
