Samenvatting

Based on the most recent, nationally recognized research regarding children's approaches to learning as well as current NCTM curriculum guidelines for mathematics, this latest text in the authors’ Active Experiences series provides clear, concise, and usable chapters on ways to guide children’s mathematical thinking and learning.

Key features in this edition include:

· Activities three- to five-year-olds and primary-grade children will find engaging.

· Experiences ideal for use in childcare, preschool, Head Start, and other early learning environments; and with children in the early primary grades.

· More developmentally appropriate and intentional assessment guidance than ever before.

· Updated, research-based guides explaining children’s cognitive and skill development in all math content areas, based on the Learning Trajectories Approach.

· Experiences and activities that conform to the most recent standards of the National Research Council (NRC), the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) and the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC).

· Updated Home-School Connection features illustrate various ways to support children’s daily learning of mathematics.

· New technology resources at the end of every chapter.
