This is a practical guide and assessment tool that will enable practitioners to be innovative and exciting whilst meeting their targets. Each colour-coded chapter is carefully linked to a phase or stage of development from birth to 60+ months, offering clear information on key mathematical milestones and linking the Early Years Outcomes to the planning cycle and Characteristics of Effective Learning. Experts Trudi Fitzhenry and Karen Murphy also include suggestions for parents to try out at home, as well as a variety of ideas to inspire adult-led learning. This handbook is ideal for boosting children's learning and helping to grow a generation of intuitively confident mathematicians.
