For many years, increasing stress has been placed on the importance
of giving the under-sevens a good start in mathematics. Originally
published in 1991, Mathematics for Young Children shows how
children as young as four and five and of all abilities can be
encouraged to carry out their own mathematical explorations whilst
covering the content of a prescribed curriculum. A substantial part
of the book is taken up with actual case-studies of children
working with Marion Bird in a reception classroom, fully
illustrated with examples of the children's work. These
case-studies are then analysed to show how a prescribed syllabus
can be effectively covered through an investigational approach: a
point which is of paramount importance to teachers concerned with
the introduction of the National Curriculum. The role of the
teacher, too, is examined carefully in order to identify those
parts of a teacher's repertoire which seems to be particularly
fruitful in encouraging young children's active mathematical
thinking. Throughout, readers are encouraged to apply and amend
ideas to suit their own particular circumstances.
