'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.

My students have loved this text book and it is a race to get hold of it. Many have purchased this textbook as it is so accessible and well organised. Students of Early Childhood and Primary have found this textbook easy to use and beneficial to their practice.
A great early years text covering important areas of early maths.
A really helpful book for our early years students. Covers important aspects of early maths.
An essential text for the new EYTS routes that enables students to understand the relevant standards
Good book relevant for the FD students studying Primary Ed
Essential reading for students to understand how mathematics is taught in the early years.
compared with other texts available I found this harder to use.
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.
