Review

"Understanding numbers and their concepts can be engaging, immensely rewarding, and the key to loving mathematics. Dr. Taylor-Cox presents concepts, strategies, questions, games, and rigorous problems in differentiated applications. Her structured layout and sequence provide a readily applicable toolbox that should be in the hands of all who work to foster the love of numbers and learning of mathematics in children. I have seen firsthand many faces light up and math mentalities peak from using these lesson and games. Any teacher seeking to foster curiosity, the love of math and numbers, and student engagement owes it to themselves to read this book and use it regularly." --Heather Burdick, Montgomery County Public Schools Lead Teacher, Maryland
