Synopsis

Maths in general is an area many early years practitioners lack confidence in - many having struggled at school themselves. They need lots of `bright ideas' for teaching maths, which are not intimidating and are very `doable'. This hands-on Little Book provides a breadth and depth of content that will enthuse both adults and children to explore fun and exciting everyday situations and number problems together.

Book Overview: The book is aimed at practitioners across settings and schools - in general, non-maths specialists, but it is also helpful for maths co-ordinators in schools who are not early years specialists. It provides a range of hands-on, fun learning experiences that will inspire confidence with numbers in both children and practitioners alike!
