Mathematics for young children: an active thinking approach
This book shows how children as young as five and of all abilities can be encouraged to carry out their own mathematical explorations whilst covering the content of a prescribed curriculum.
A substantial part of the book is taken up with actual case studies of children working with Marion Bird in a reception classroom, fully illustrated with examples of the children's work.
These case studies are then analyzed to show how a prescribed syllabus can be effectively covered through an investigational approach: a point which is of paramount importance to teachers concerned with the introduction of the National Curriculum.
