Understanding Mathematics for Young Children: A guide for teachers of children 3 - 8

By Derek Haylock and Anne D Cockburn (Sage, 24.99, ISBN 9781446248669)

This revised and expanded edition promises to make readers pause for thought and re-examine their own understanding of basic mathematical ideas.

While the focus is very much on gaining insights into how mathematical thinking works - and thereby identifying ways in which barriers for young children can be removed - there are also case studies and age-appropriate activities to boost enjoyment of maths in the nursery. The new edition also features reader-friendly full colour layout.
