""This richly varied text offers generous support for every aspect
of the teacher's role, while constantly reminding us that
mathematical activity is not a de-contextualised skill that
children possess, but part of their identity, their way of being in
the world, engaged with the world, energetically - and playfully -
trying to make sense of it."
Mary Jane Drummond, formerly of the Faculty of Education,
University of Cambridge, UK"
"Teaching and Learning Early Number" is a bestselling guide for
all trainee and practising Early Years teachers and classroom
assistants. It provides an accessible guide to a wide range of
research evidence about the teaching and learning of early
number.
Major changes in the primary mathematics curriculum over the
last decade - such as the National Numeracy Strategy, the Primary
National Strategy, the Early Years Foundation Stage and the
Williams Review - have greatly influenced the structure of this new
edition. The book includes: A new introductory chapter to set the
scene Six further new chapters - including Mathematics through
play, Children's mathematical graphics and Interview-based
assessment of early number knowledge Six completely re-written
chapters and two updated chapters A new concluding chapter looking
to the future The chapters can be read in a standalone fashion and
many are cross referenced to other parts of the book where specific
ideas are dealt with in a different manner. Issues addressed
include: new research on the complex process of counting and on
children's written mathematical marks; counting in the home
environment and play in the school setting; the importance of
mathematical representations and of ICT in children's understanding
of number; errors and misconceptions and the assessment of
children's number knowledge.
