Reviews

‘This book explores all aspects of early years provision from a mathematical perspective, whether in exploring food, getting out and about, construction, water, sand and dough play, and so on, and examines how to promote vocabulary and thinking skills. You will enjoy delivering maths as much as the children should learning it with the support of this brilliant text!’ Early Years Educator, vol. 13 April 2012, Martine Horvath
