Early Childhood Mathematics

This NCTM Standards-based book encourages the teacher or future teacher to create an active learning environment that fosters curiosity, confidence, and persistence in children as they learn math. Because the knowledge of important mathematical relationships, number sense, and the ability to solve problems are three key ingredients to the successful acquisition of math in the early years, this book pays special attention to helping teachers foster those skills and ways of thinking.Features new to this edition include discussion of the No Child Left Behind legislation, teacher lesson plan websites in every chapter, a collection of blackline masters, and weekly assessment activities.Sperry Smith, Susan is the author of 'Early Childhood Mathematics', published 2005 under ISBN 9780205454761 and ISBN 0205454763.
