English Summary/英文概要： Never before has skill in mathematics been so important. In an attempt to improve the math experiences of young children, the Arlitt Child Development Center, University of Cincinnati, focused their efforts on applying new research on children and mathematics in their program. What emerged from this work was a new, exciting direction for the math curriculum. The result is MORE THAN COUNTING, filled with unusual games and activities that have proven superior in facilitating children’s construction of mathematical knowledge. (And in easing teaching anxiety about providing a solid math curriculum!)
Make math an intriguing, integral part of your everyday curriculum with MORE THAN COUNTING. Chapters include: INTRODUCTION TO WHOLE MATH,MATH MANIPULATIVES, COLLECTIONS , GRID GAMES, PATH GAMES , GRAPHING , MATH AMD GRODD-MOTOR PPLAY and THE MATH SUITCASE.
"MORE THAM COUNTING fills a void in the early childhood field. Most of the math ‘idea‘books currently available present many activities which fail to advance children’s thinking in mathematics. This book gets at the heart of the matter, showing dozens of ways to encourage children to construct a rich understanding of number, thus providing the solid foundation needed for more advanced number concepts."
