Story books relate to units: unit 1 (number concepts): what are numbers? - unit 2 (2-D and 3-D shapes): the shape of things - unit 3 (patterns and logic): patterns plus - unit 4 (measurement): measure up! - unit 5 (number operations): working with numbers - unit 6 (spatial relations): getting around.
Big Math for Little Kids is a comprehensive and enjoyable mathematics program that builds upon what young children already know and are capable of doing mathematically. It is based on research and field-testing in early childhood classrooms so the materials and concepts are developmentally appropriate for pre-school and kindergarten-age youngsters. Big Math for Little Kids will prepare children for math success in the first grade and beyond. It also features step-by-step guidance for teachers.

Early childhood mathematics is vitally important for young children's present and future educational success. Research demonstrates that virtually all young children have the capability to learn and become competent in mathematics. Furthermore, young children enjoy their early informal experiences with mathematics. Unfortunately, many children's potential in mathematics is not fully realized, especially those children who are economically disadvantaged. This is due, in part, to a lack of opportunities to learn mathematics in early childhood settings or through everyday experiences in the home and in their communities. Improvements in early childhood mathematics education can provide young children with the foundation for school success. Relying on a comprehensive review of the research, Mathematics Learning in Early Childhood lays out the critical areas that should be the focus of young children's early mathematics education, explores the extent to which they are currently being incorporated in early childhood settings, and identifies the changes needed to improve the quality of mathematics experiences for young children. This book serves as a call to action to improve the state of early childhood mathematics. It will be especially useful for policy makers and practitioners-those who work directly with children and their families in shaping the policies that affect the education of young children.
This book examines the mathematical difficulties in typical and atypical populations. It discusses the behavioural, educational and neuropsychological characteristics of people with mathematical difficulties, and educational interventions to prevent, diagnose, treat or ameliorate such difficulties. The book brings together studies from different disciplines, including developmental psychology, neuroscience and education, and includes perspectives from practicing teachers. The book is divided into three major sections. The first includes chapters about the nature and characteristics of mathematical difficulties in the population as a whole, in relation to both psychology and education. The second deals with mathematical difficulties in children with other problems such as specific language impairment and dyslexia. The third discusses methods of interventions aimed at preventing, treating or ameliorating mathematical difficulties, and will include discussions of assessment and diagnosis.
The activities, listed in this little book, are specific examples of what parents can do to help their children develop a strong foundation in math. This book would make an ideal gift for Mother's Day, Father's Day, or as a baby shower gift. It may also be used as a stocking stuffer, for the holidays, for any parent who would like to help their young child learn fundamental math concepts.
This third edition of the Handbook of International Research in Mathematics Education provides a comprehensive overview of the most recent theoretical and practical developments in the field of mathematics education. Authored by an array of internationally recognized scholars and edited by Lyn English and David Kirshner, this collection brings together overviews and advances in mathematics education research spanning established and emerging topics, diverse workplace and school environments, and globally representative research priorities. New perspectives are presented on a range of critical topics including embodied learning, the theory-practice divide, new developments in the early years, educating future mathematics education professors, problem solving in a 21st century curriculum, culture and mathematics learning, complex systems, critical analysis of design-based research, multimodal technologies, and e-textbooks. Comprised of 12 revised and 17 new chapters, this edition extends the Handbook’s original themes for international research in mathematics education and remains in the process a definitive resource for the field.
The "BIG MATH for Little Kids" set of workbooks adds enrichment to a young student's math learning. There are two versions of each workbook - the Solution Manual and the Workbook. The Workbook is the same as the Solution Manual, except most of the answers have been removed. This workbook (Introduction to Numbers ...) is suitable for young children in Pre-K through 2nd grade. The focus is on doing fun activities that help children to understand that numbers represent quantities of things. The worksheets in this book are very plain and simple - they do not have any extraneous pictures or distractions. The following math skills are introduced: Verbally quantifying simple numbers. Verbally adding simple numbers. Writing numbers to represent a quantity. Adding two simple numbers.
