This book will encourage children to think about maths while playing, using a range of common resources that will spark their curiosity. It is full of creative suggestions for incorporating mathematical concepts - counting, comparison, composition, shape, pattern and number - into child-led play. The book contains ideas for bringing mathematical learning into children's favourite activities: role play and construction; art and nature; sand and water play and even simple technology-based activities using projectors or torches. Experienced Early Years teacher Laura England, creator of Little Miss Early Years, also provides advice about getting children talking about maths during daily routines in Early Years settings. This dip-in-and-out book is linked to the Characteristics of Effective Learning and presents case studies, real-life images and practical pointers on how to use play for early mathematical concepts. With tips from setting up the environment to the adult's role in this child-led play, Looking for Learning: Maths through Play is ideal for all Early Years practitioners searching for accessible ideas for incorporating mathematical learning through play into their settings. Looking for Learning books are the number one tool for identifying learning opportunities in child-led play. All four books are packed full of tried-and-tested ideas for indoor and outdoor activities, helpful hints and tips and full-colour photographs

Everything a child does has mathematical value--these words are at the heart of this completely revised and updated third edition of The Young Child and Mathematics. Grounded in current research, this classic book focuses on how teachers working with children ages 3 to 6 can find and build on the math inherent in children's ideas in ways that are playful and intentional. This resource: Illustrates through detailed vignettes how math concepts can be explored in planned learning experiences as well as informal spaces; Highlights in-the-moment instructional decision-making and child-teacher interactions that meaningfully and dynamically support children in making math connections; Provides an overview of what children know about counting and operations, spatial relations, measurement and data, and patterns and algebra; Offers examples of informal documentation and assessment approaches that are embedded within classroom practice Deepen your understanding of how math is an integral part of your classroom all day, every day.

"The third edition of this significant and groundbreaking book summarizes current research into how young children learn mathematics, and how best to develop foundational knowledge to realize more effective teaching. Using straightforward, practical language, early math experts Douglas Clements and Julie Sarama show how learning trajectories help teachers understand children's level of mathematical understanding and lead to better teaching. By focusing on the inherent delight and curiosity behind young children's mathematical reasoning, learning trajectories ultimately make teaching more joyous: in helping teachers understand the varying levels of knowledge exhibited by individual students, it allows them to better meet the learning needs of all children. This thoroughly revised and contemporary third edition of Learning and Teaching Early Math remains the definitive, research-based resource to help teachers understand the learning trajectories of early mathematics, and become confident, credible professionals. The new edition draws on numerous new research studies, offers expanded international examples, and includes updated illustrations throughout. This new edition is closely linked with Learning and Teaching with Learning Trajectories - [LT]² - an open-access, web-based tool for early childhood educators to learn about how children think and learn about mathematics. Head to LearningTrajectories.org for on-going updates, interactive games, and practical tools that support classroom learning. Douglas H.
