Charting the delivery of mathematical development in Playgroups, Children's Centres, Nurseries and Primary Schools, it forges links between current practice and fundamental Early Years principles and makes suggestions for creating effective pedagogies in maths teaching.   Promoting mathematical development through play-based learning, this book presents:          a wealth of practical multi-sensory teaching strategies      instructional methodologies      activity ideas incorporating play, books, songs, cookery and the outdoors      examples of children's work      advice on translating theory into practice      questions for reflective practice.  Throughout the book, Caroline McGrath breaks down the complexity of teaching and learning mathematics into simple steps and guides readers through possible gaps in their knowledge, bringing fresh enthusiasm to teaching mathematics. This is an invaluable resource for practitioners and trainee teachers wishing to strengthen their mathematical teaching and professional practice, or for students on a wide range of Early Years courses.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49557879521553,"sku":"GOR003796803","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50732802834705,"sku":"GOR006758095","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52335144796433,"sku":"NLS9780415491617","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53365876687121,"sku":"NIN9780415491617","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0415491614.jpg?v=1751439417"},{"product_id":"teaching-mathematics-through-story-book-caroline-mcgrath-9780415688154","title":"Teaching Mathematics through Story","description":"How do you make mathematics relevant and exciting to young children? How can mathematics and literacy be combined in a meaningful way? How can stories inspire the teaching and learning of mathematics?    This book explores the exciting ways in which story can be used as a flexible resource to facilitate children’s mathematical thinking. It looks at the potential relationship between story and mathematics and practically demonstrates how they can be combined to help children connect, understand and express mathematical ideas using story language.    Written for all early years practitioners and students, the book offers a playful pedagogical approach to facilitating children’s mathematical thinking which brings a creative satisfaction and confidence to teaching mathematics. Encouraging a creative approach to teaching mathematics that draws on picture books and oral mathematical stories, the book shows you how to:          Move from reading to telling stories with mathematical themes       Encourage children to pose and solve problems by playing with the plot of stories       Enable children to translate abstract mathematical ideas to concrete representations with supporting story props and puppets       Create original oral mathematical stories alongside children       Capture children’s mathematical thinking in an observational framework, supported with audio or video recordings which can be shared with parents and colleagues      There are free audio recordings of children and adults telling oral mathematical stories, which feature in the book. These can be downloaded from: www.routledge.com\/9780415688154    This book draws on practical work with children, educators, parents, professional storytellers, and trainee practitioners, who bring theoretical ideas to life and offer insight into their mathematical story experiences. It is a ‘must have’ for all those who want to make mathematics relevant, accessible and imaginative for young children.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49654616031505,"sku":"GOR007752076","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49890346205457,"sku":"CIN0415688159G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52432494723345,"sku":"NLS9780415688154","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0415688159.jpg?v=1750910429"},{"product_id":"supporting-early-mathematical-development-book-caroline-mcgrath-9781032156279","title":"Supporting Early Mathematical Development","description":"Supporting Early Mathematical Development is an essential text, combining theory and practice to enable successful mathematical education for children from birth to 12 years. This text considers how students, academics, parents and professionals can develop their mathematical thinking practice whilst acknowledging there will always be a road yet to travel; we will always be practising the craft of teaching mathematics. Charting the delivery of mathematical development in playgroups, children’s centres, nurseries and primary schools, the book promotes an effective pedagogy for mathematics.  This new edition provides a conceptualisation of mathematics and places a fresh emphasis on mathematical literacy to empower children. New chapters include the following:  ■ Mediators of Mathematical Thinking  ■ Understanding Pattern, Pre-Algebraic and Algebraic Thinking  ■ Naming, Renaming and Processing Numbers  ■ Statistics, Statistical Diagrams and Probability  ■ Measure  ■ Geometry  Throughout the book, Caroline McGrath navigates the complexity of teaching and learning mathematics, through careful thought and consideration of mediators of mathematical thinking. This supportive book is designed for educators who want to know how to reconstruct mathematical ideas with children and respond in the moment. Returning to the root of understanding, using the adaptive pedagogical style recommended in this text, you can create satisfying mathematical experiences for children.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51201541800209,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":51201543373073,"sku":"NGR9781032156279","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52657277665553,"sku":"NLS9781032156279","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53656527110417,"sku":"NIN9781032156279","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1032156279.jpg?v=1760781315"},{"product_id":"supporting-early-mathematical-development-book-caroline-mcgrath-9781032156286","title":"Supporting Early Mathematical Development","description":"This book combines theory and practice to enable successful mathematical education for children from birth to twelve years.
