Synopsis

Is your child enthusiastic about stories Do you wish they could derive the same enjoyment from maths as they do from stories Developing Early Maths through Story offers step-by-step advice for using storytelling as a springboard for early maths. It uses traditional stories outlines and folktales from around the world together with tried-and-tested strategies to encourage children to engage with simple mathematical operations through the stories they love. The logic behind this approach is that mathematics and stories help children (and adults!) to understand the world. Both provide order, pattern and frameworks through which children can access meaning and make maths more fun! The book contains 14 chapters, on numbers 0 to 13 each including: the outline of the story; EYFS learning objectives; Resources needed; Scope for outdoor activities and for using natural materials; Suggestions for using ICT. Ideal for 3-5 years olds, it includes activities for younger children and babies. If you are an adult working with young children educator, care-giver, childminder, teacher or parent who wishes to discover excitement in the world of mathematics in activities with children, this book is for you.
