Research has demonstrated that virtually all young children have the capability to learn and become competent in mathematics. Furthermore, young children enjoy their early informal experiences with mathematics. Unfortunately, many children's potential in mathematics is not fully realized, especially those children who are economically disadvantaged. This is due, in part, to a lack of opportunities to learn mathematics in early childhood settings or through everyday experiences in the home and in their communities. Improvements in early childhood mathematics education can provide young children with the foundation for school success. Relying on a comprehensive review of the research, Mathematics Learning in Early Childhood lays out the critical areas that should be the focus of young children's early mathematics education, explores the extent to which they are currently being incorporated in early childhood settings, and identifies the changes needed to improve the quality of mathematics experiences for young children. This book serves as a call to action to improve the state of early childhood mathematics. It will be especially useful for policy makers and practitioners-those who work directly with children and their families in shaping the policies that affect the education of young children."--Publisher's description. 606 $aMathematics$xStudy and teaching (Early childhood) 606 $aEarly childhood education 615 0$aMathematics$xStudy and teaching (Early childhood) 615 0$aEarly childhood education. 676 $a372.7 701 $aCross$b Christopher T$01526284 701 $aWoods$b Taniesha A$01550854 701 $aSchweingruber$b Heidi A$01490145 712 02$aNational Research Council (U.S.).$bCommittee on Early Childhood Mathematics. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910792340903321 996 $aMathematics learning in early childhood$93810033 997 $aUNINA
