Offers a research background for adults helping three- to five-year-olds learn mathematics, including social and emotional processes as well as mathematical ideas and common difficulties. This book includes implications for practice and proposes a playful and sensitive approach.
"With freshness, humour and originality, Sue Gifford demonstrates the interactive strategies that are required to teach mathematics to young children. The text is both refreshingly free from conventional wisdom and solidly grounded in recent research on learning and teaching early mathematics.At the same time, it is unfailing in its accuracy in uncovering children''s own humour and instinct for subverting ''teacherly'' overtures. Given the demonstrated lack of spontaneous mathematics in early childhood setting, this assembled collage of children''s own observations, activities and comments is in itself a work of art."
