Foundations
of Mathematics
outlines seven strands of practice which underpin successful mathematical
development inchildren aged 3-7. Early
years mathematics specialists, Carole and Judith, draw on their experience of
working with early years practitioners, including consultants and advisers,
across the UK and internationally.
The
book is completely up-to-date and embeds the Revised Early Years Foundation
Stage throughout the book. The book brims with multi-sensory ideas that
will trigger children's curiosity, measuring using sand mousse, hunting for
buried treasure and building secret dens outdoors. There are:
-
activities that involve playing and exploring,
-
games to make learning active, and
-
experiences to develop creative and critical thinking.
Alongside
these practical experiences and activities are clear explanations of the
reasoning behind the ideas with clear guidance on the role of the practitioner
and 'Home Challenges' to promote the engagement of families. The authors
provide straightforward advice to support the development of a
mathematically-enriched learning environment and ideas to help children
transfer learning into their own child-initiated play, to build a genuine and
solid foundation for mathematics.

This amazingly useful and informative book gives practical and easy-to-follow tips for use in the classroom. The accompanying photographs and suggested activities are excellent. -- Deborah Choueka * Early years practitioner * Maths has often been an area in which we have needed to develop further - this book did this, for example, shape cutting when sandwich making, taking photos of children's fingers counting (rather than objects). Lots of ideas to use throughout the rooms. Really visual, easy read for staff. -- Rachel Thomas * Manager, Portico Day Nurseries Ltd * An engaging and well structured book which has been pitched perfectly for an early years teacher. The visual nature of the different chapters allows practitioners to dip in and out. There is a plethora of varied activities permitting teachers to formulate plans, or simply give children different opportunities to play and explore. -- James Sharrod * Bright Horizons *
