Mathematics in Early Years Education

By Ann Montague-Smith and Alison Price (Routledge, 15.99, ISBN 9780415674690)

This third edition has been updated to include the latest research and thinking on how practitioners can help young children to learn about maths through practical experience and discussion.

There are ideas for observation and questioning to assess children's understanding, and new guidance on sorting, matching and handling data. Key concepts are explored - including numbers and counting, calculation, pattern, shape, measures and data handling - and there are suggestions for language development around these.
