Early Mathematical Experiences

Early Mathematical Experiences
Dr Paul Swan

Early Mathematical Experiences is designed for teachers working with 4 - 6 year old children. It includes a variety of ‘play-based’ experiences that lay the foundation for learning mathematics. Background explanations are provided along with the associated language to use when providing young children with the experiences. While children are participating in these experiences they will be developing fine and gross motor skills.

This well illustrated book will help teachers draw the most from the mathematical experiences. Some examples of experiences are using jigsaws, sand & water play, construction and cooking. Most of the activities are built around ubiquitous manipulatives.
