Much More Than Counting

Filled with more math manipulatives, more grid games, and more path games. Over one hundred fun activities to encourage mathematical thinking in young children are included -- from cover.

More than one hundred math activities for young children that incorporate early learning standards.

Picking up where More Than Counting left off, Much More Than Counting is filled with more math manipulatives more grid games, and more path games. Over one hundred activities that will make math more fun for children are included.The book addresses those questions most asked by teachers, providers, and parents, as well as material about toddlers, children with disabilities, estimation, and patterning -- topics that often are forgotten in an early math curriculum. Each of the activities is accompanied by a photograph and detailed explanation of how to set up the activity or construct materials.

For some time now, the study of cognitive development has been far and away the most active discipline within developmental psychology. Although there would be much disagreement as to the exact proportion of papers published in developmental journals that could be considered cognitive, 50% seems like a conservative estimate. Hence, a series of scholary books to be devoted to work in cognitive development is especially appropriate at this time. The Springer Series in Cognitive Development contains two basic types of books, namely, edited collections of original chapters by several authors, and original volumes written by one author or a small group of authors. The flagship for the Springer Series is a serial publication of the "advances" type, carrying the subtitle Progress in Cognitive Development Research. Volumes in the Progress sequence are strongly thematic, in that each is limited to some well-defined domain of cognitive developmental research (e. g. , logical and mathematical development, semantic development). All Progress volumes are edited collections. Editors of such books, upon consultation with the Series Editor, may elect to have their works published either as contributions to the Progress sequence or as separate volumes. All books written by one author or a small group of authors will be published as separate volumes within the series. is being used in the selec A fairly broad definition of cognitive development tion of books for this series.

Filled with unusual games and fun activities that have proven superior in facilitating children's construction of mathematical knowledge. (And in easing teaching anxiety about providing a solid math curriculum!) -- from cover.

Rhyming text and illustrations introduce numbers one to ten, from one tangled weta to ten colourful geckos. Suggested level: junior.

Counting Civilian Casualties aims to promote open scientific dialogue by high lighting the strengths and weaknesses of the most commonly used casualty recording and estimation techniques in an understandable format.

"How Many? A Counting Book is a student book and accompanying teacher's guide that explore the essential mathematical ideas of units and place value."--
