Showcasing Mathematics for the Young Child Activities for Three-, Four-, and Five-Year-Olds

"Written for all teachers of young children, the purpose of this book is to illustrate activities that promote early mathematics development for children ages three to five and to 'showcase' mathematics for the young child. The thirty-five activities in this book, each of which has been tested in a variety of places with a diverse population of children, are distributed into five content areas: number and operations, geometry, algebra, measurement, and data analysis. The Content areas are connected by a continuing story, 'Hanny the Honey Bear Discovers the World of Mathematics in the Big Zoo.' The experiences of Hanny are told through a variety of mathematical puzzles involving the five content areas. Teachers can use this book to help themselves teach mathematics, learn mathematics, and most important, osten to children think!"""Copley, Juanita V. is the author of 'Showcasing Mathematics for the Young Child Activities for Three-, Four-, and Five-Year-Olds' with ISBN 9780873535557 and ISBN 0873535553.
