Using standards and guidelines from NCTM) and NAEYC, Juanita Copley shows how teachers can readily and enjoyably make mathematics an integral part of their classrooms all day, every day. Includes a DVD of print and video resources, including clips of the author in action in real classrooms, engaging young children in math thinking and learning.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Nita Copley continues to lead the way in promoting mathematics for early childhood that is both child-centered and teacher-friendly. The new edition of The Young Child and Mathematics will be a valuable resource to all educators striving to provide the best educational experiences to the youngest learners. --Douglas Clements, SUNY Distinguished Professor and coauthor, Learning and Teaching Early Math: The Learning Trajectories Approach The Young Child and Mathematics is a must-have for every teacher who works with young children. Copley's approach to teaching math engages the children and builds on their inquisitiveness. The vivid vignettes and drawings make this book come alive. Readers will come away feeling confident that "I, too, can do this with my students!" --Valerie Johse, elementary math specialist, Pearland Independent School District, Texas In this updated edition of The Young Child and Mathematics, Juanita Copley helps teachers understand what foundational math knowledge children need. I especially enjoy the videos of her own masterful teaching: it's so useful to see these demonstrations of challenging, engaging curriculum and instructional strategies. Most importantly, Copley demonstrates that young children are eager, enthusiastic, and capable math learners! --Sue Bredekamp, early childhood education consultant and member, Committee on Early Childhood Mathematics, National Research Council I appreciate and adapt in my own work the teacher-to-child, child-to-teacher, and child-to-child dialogue that is interspersed throughout The Young Child and Mathematics. These real-life episodes allow the teachers I train to connect pedagogical content to their children's informal mathematics understanding. --Brian Mowry, prekindergarten instructional specialist, Austin Independent School District, Texas<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Juanita Copley is a professor emerita at the University of Houston.
