Industry Reviews
This is just the resource I need to bring my math instruction to the next level. My students and I will definitely be exploring, learning, and having fun with math this upcoming school year! - William Breeman, Transitional Kindergarten Teacher, San Jose Unified School District
Pecaski McLennan openly acknowledges how her own mathematical identity impacted that of her students. She shows readers that by embracing math and seeing it everywhere, we can provide children with rich opportunities for mathematics teaching and learning. - Toni Galassini, Curriculum and Instruction Specialist, Chicago Public Schools Office of Early Childhood Education
Pecaski McLennan draws from many sources of inspiration and includes a wide range of meaningful activities for children's engagement with mathematics, from interactions with natural objects to the foundations of computer coding. Each chapter includes ways to encourage and leverage children's natural curiosity by assisting them in making connections to mathematics in the world around them in structured and unstructured ways. This book supports emerging mathematicians in an age-appropriate and effective manner. - Andrew M. Tyminski, Associate Professor of Mathematics Education, Clemson University
This book offers a hands-on, inquiry-based approach to exploring mathematics with young children that integrates mathematics with science, literacy, and art. Pecaski McLennan's suggestions for engaging in meaningful, story-based precoding activities to support computational thinking, spatial reasoning, and number sense are particularly noteworthy and relevant! - Ashley Lewis Presser, Research Scientist, Education Development Center
Math is everywhere, and the earlier young children see its power in their daily lives, the more likely they are to explore it instead of fear it. This book shows us how to raise our next generation to embrace and excel at math. - Laura Overdeck, Founder and President, Bedtime Math
