Supporting Early Mathematical Development

Supporting Early Mathematical Development is an essential text for current Early Years practitioners and students, offering an excellent blend of theory and practice that will enable you to provide successful mathematical education for children from birth to eight years old. Charting the delivery of mathematical development in Playgroups, Children's Centres, Nurseries and Primary Schools, it forges links between current practice and fundamental Early Years principles and makes suggestions for creating effective pedagogies in maths teaching.

Promoting mathematical development through play-based learning, this book presents:





a wealth of practical multi-sensory teaching strategies

instructional methodologies

activity ideas incorporating play, books, songs, cookery and the outdoors

examples of children's work

advice on translating theory into practice

questions for reflective practice.
Throughout the book, Caroline McGrath breaks down the complexity of teaching and learning mathematics into simple steps and guides readers through possible gaps in their knowledge, bringing fresh enthusiasm to teaching mathematics. This is an invaluable resource for practitioners and trainee teachers wishing to strengthen their mathematical teaching and professional practice, or for students on a wide range of Early Years courses.

Sustinerea dezvoltarii matematice timpurii este un text esential pentru practicienii si studentii actuali din anii timpurii, oferind un amestec excelent de teorie si practica care va va permite sa oferiti educatie matematica de succes copiilor de la nastere pana la opt ani. Graficand livrarea dezvoltarii matematice in grupuri de joaca, centre pentru copii, crese si scoli primare, creeaza legaturi intre practica actuala si principiile fundamentale ale anilor timpurii si face sugestii pentru crearea unor pedagogii eficiente in predarea matematicii. Aceasta carte promoveaza dezvoltarea matematica prin invatarea bazata pe joc prezinta: o bogatie de strategii practice de predare multi-senzoriale metodologii de instruire idei de activitate care incorporeaza jocul, cartile, cantecele, bucataria si exteriorul exemple de lucru pentru copii sfaturi despre transpunerea teoriei in practica intrebari pentru practica reflexiva. Pe parcursul cartii, Caroline McGrath descompune complexitatea predarii si invatarii matematica in pasi simpli si ghideaza cititorii prin posibile lacune in cunostintele lor, aducand un nou entuziasm predarii matematicii.
