Full Description
Drawing on their many years experience of teaching, the authors explain the development and range of young children's mathematical marks and representations. They show how to assess and support these early mathematical graphics. Worthington and Carruthers believe that this is the key to success in school mathematics and to higher levels of achievement. Offering a wealth of practical guidance to support teachers of young children, this book sets out ways of helping children make sense of mathematics, and suggests alternatives to the excessive use of worksheets. Worthington and Carruthers believe that teachers need to understand, support and develop young children's intuitive methods on paper. Children are then more able to translate between their informal knowledge and the more abstract forms of mathematical symbolism, which they meet as they progress in school.
