More Than Counting: Whole-Math Activities for Preschool and Kindergarten

Math is so easy, a child can do it ... all we have to do is let them! By starting young and building math confidence, we can create a world of checkbook balancers, computer wizards, small-business owners, and yes, even mathematicians. More than 100 ideas for unusual new manipulatives, collections, grid games, path games, graphing, and gross-motor play that combine to make a complete math experience for children.
