Children have many wide-ranging mathematical experiences from the moment they are born. These can give a secure basis on which to build their future maths achievements. Written by Carole Skinner and revised by Elaine Bennett, the aim of this book is to provide information and support to everyone who has responsibility for, or interest in young children learning maths. It is designed to continue to promote the idea that children are active learners, who need a broad range of contexts in which to explore, experiment and talk about maths.
