Maths is all Around You by Marianne Knaus

Maths is all Around You by Marianne Knaus

We encounter mathematics on a regular basis in one form or another. For some people, maths is ‘scary’ and not something they feel confident about. Even though many educators and parents attempt to provide good mathematics experiences, there is still a high level of anxiety about the teaching and learning of mathematics. This book presents a broad range of concepts and aims to widen the narrow view that maths for young children is just about numbers and shapes. The content includes pattern (early algebra), counting, number, early operations, measurement, shape and spatial awareness (geometry), matching, sorting, data analysis and the introduction of chance (statistics and probability). This book is intended for educators and parents who would like to explore and investigate maths concepts to enrich children’s experiences and extend their current thinking and learning.

Clear, encouraging and well-focused, this is easy to use and guarantees an excellent foundation-- Sarah Brew * www.parentsintouch.co.uk *
