Children learn mathematics most effectively in contexts that are
meaningful to them. Realizing the potential of these contexts for
fostering young children's mathematical learning while nurturing
and challenging them, requires knowledge of mathematics as well as
of child development. Avoiding the debates surrounding "hands-on"
learning vs. direct instruction, the author focuses on the value of
different contexts for learning, and illustrates ways to genuinely
engage children as active learners. The work is rich with examples
of children's interactions with each other and with adults as they
utilize and extend their understanding of mathematics. Examples and
guidelines for developing lessons and activities will be useful to
educators and parents. Chapters explore how we underestimate young
children's mathematical capabilities; how appropriate sequencing of
learning and building on prior knowledge will enhance
understanding; what teachers, including parent-teachers, need to
know; and high-stakes testing. This is a work that brings together
the connections between knowing the basics and constructing
knowledge in accessible and practical ways.
