Description
Some of the features include identification of key mathematical ‘big ideas’, anticipation of misconceptions and difficulties, and planning frameworks showing how the lessons can be enacted and extended. Chapter 1 discusses how to engaging children in mathematics through the use of literature. Subsequent chapters deal with early number concepts; place value and number facts; patterning and algebraic thinking; smaller and bigger numbers; measurement concepts; geometrical concepts; chance and probability; data handling and statistics; proficiencies through children’s literature and other media.
After reading each chapter and completing many of our suggestions, we are confident you will embrace this resource, and see the potential for incorporating children’s literature to engage children in rich mathematical learning.
