'What a super book! It is absolutely packed with practical ideas and activities to help you love maths, and love teaching and/or learning it. It certainly helps to develop an enthusiasm for a subject most adults tend to say "I'm no good at..."'
- Early Years Educator
‘A wonderful book, packed with practical ideas and activities to help all students love maths.’
- Jo Boaler, Professor of Mathematics Education, Stanford University
Contemporary approaches to developing essential mathematical learning for young children are explored, including:
- play, practical activities and talk for mathematics
- outdoor learning
- understanding pattern
- counting, calculation and place value
- measures and shape
- problem solving and representing mathematics
- assessment
- working with parents.
Written for both trainees and practitioners working with children aged 0 to 8 years, including those studying for Early Years and Early Childhood degrees and those on Primary PGCE and Primary Education courses, this book offers mathematical subject knowledge and teaching ideas in one volume.

Very useful text for Foundation Phase ITET students.
A useful and readable book which outlines the main theories and understanding as a starting point for teaching young children.
This book is grounded in the latest research about how children become effective learners, particularly in relation to mathematics. There are particularly useful case studies.
I strongly recommend it.
Essential reading for students to understand how mathematics is taught in the early years.
Very useful in developing both subject knowledge and pedagogical knowledge. Lots of practical ideas for the trainees to use in the classroom situation.
A really helpful book for our early years students. Covers important aspects of early maths.
Essential for understanding how mathematics is taught in the very early years
An essential text for the new EYTS routes that enables students to understand the relevant standards
A plethora of new and interesting activities and ideas to develop subject knowledge and pedagogical practice for trainee teachers and particularly helpful for supporting children in early years and KS1.
This book sets out clearly and extensively the nature of children's mathematical learning and ways for teachers and others to foster and promote this across many contexts. One of its strengths is the layout with summary, case studies, suggested activities and reading to follow up.
