‘A wonderful book, packed with practical ideas and activities to help all students love maths.’
*Jo Boaler*

′What a super book! It is absolutely packed with practical ideas and activities to help you love maths, and love teaching and/or learning it. It certainly helps to develop an enthusiasm for a subject most adults tend to say "I′m no good at..."′
*Martine Horvath*

This is an informative read for anyone who is interested in why mathematics is so essential in the early years. Although the book ranges from
0-8 years it includes a huge amount of information relating to early years and is a must-read for any graduate or leader in an early years role.
