How can early years practitioners help young children to become not
only numerate but aspiring mathematicians who love numbers, shapes
and mathematical comparisons? The introduction of the Foundation
Stage has led to practitioners seeking ways to teach maths which
are more in line with the creative and playful ways young children
learn other subjects. Linda Pound draws on current thinking about
children's mathematical development to show how you can encourage
and enhance the numeracy skills of any child in the early years by
linking maths to every-day life situations and making it a playful
and enjoyable cross-curricular activity.This highly practical and
engaging text includes chapters on: why maths is often seen as
'hard' and what practitioners can do to help young children be more
successful; exploring shapes, space, measures and patterns; how to
make maths more fun and playful, using games, humour, stories and
rhymes; using music and dance to enhance mathematical
understanding; encouraging children to see the connection between
maths and everyday experiences through, for example sorting,
matching and guessing; and, creating an environment for
mathematical development, indoors and out. Concluding with a
chapter on how practitioners and parents can become more confident
in their use of maths, this user-friendly text, packed full of
ideas, is essential reading for practitioners in any early years
setting. Students on Early Education courses will also find much
here to inspire them.
