Hardback : $203.00
This book explains how young children develop mathematically in their earliest years and shows the support and teaching needed by adults to accelerate their progress and attainment, helping them master mathematical concepts and skills.
The practical guidance has been carefully developed over a number of years and is based on research undertaken with primary schools in Sheffield as part of the 'Talk for Maths Mastery' initiative. It recognises that children’s mathematical development is embedded within child-led play and connected to deeper levels of thinking and wider dispositions for learning. Maths is happening everywhere at any moment; we just need to keep an open mind, open eyes, and listen.
Including case studies, links to practice and reflective questions, the chapters reveal what mastery orientation looks like from the children’s perspective in their learning and covers:
This book will help all early years practitioners and teachers working with children throughout the EYFS and KS1 build their understanding, knowledge, experience and confidence of engaging in early mathematics.

"With an excellent layout and indexing, appendices of ready to use practical tools, real life learning ‘stories’, and full colour photographs, this is essential reading for early years practitioners looking to develop mathematical mastery in their work with the youngest students.I particularly liked the concept of the ‘Maths is everywhere’ audit, encouraging adults to see that maths can happen anywhere, at any time. This book would make an excellent addition to the Continuing Professional Development library of any primary school." - Helen Emery, The School Librarian
