Opis

Early Mathematics Teaching and Learning translates the findings of developmental psychology research on early mathematics into terms that are meaningful to teachers and readily applicable in early childhood classrooms. In so doing, this highly useful book bridges the gap between research and practice, making it possible for teachers to adopt evidence-based practices and improve teaching by applying cutting-edge research findings. Early Mathematics Teaching and Learning provides experiences designed to help children from three to eight years develop foundational math knowledge and skills, positive attitudes toward math, and basic abilities to think mathematically.
