Publisher's Synopsis
Written by two experts with decades of experience in working with young children, this book follows in the same vein as NAEYC's bestselling Making and Tinkering with STEM book, using children's books to engage children ages three to eight in mathematical thinking and learning. Offers ideas and guidance for how to discover and understand math concepts by exploring the big ideas that relate to the following questions: How are these the same or different? What comes next? How many do we have? (Or do we need or want?) How big is it? Where is it? Is it fair? NAEYC promotes high-quality early learning for all children, birth through age 8, by connecting practice, policy, and research. The books it publishes advance a diverse, dynamic early childhood profession and support all who care for, educate, and work on behalf of young children. NAEYC books, which are subject to a rigorous peer-review process, guide the field of early childhood education.
