This extremely practical book is full of ideas for promoting a play-based approach to the learning of mathematics.
Written by a classroom teacher, the book is firmly grounded in real classrooms. Early chapters examine why play and creativity is important in early years education, and provide ideas for creating and using a mathematical environment (both inside and outdoors). Subsequent chapters focus on number, pattern, shape and space, and measurement. A final chapter gives suggestions about planning, organising and assessing independent play.
A great resource of hands-on, imaginative ways to nurture children’s early mathematical understanding.
