Industry Reviews

"This book geminated from an early childhood numeracy project in Australia titled Numeracy@Home. ... As a mathematics teacher educator I found this book rich in material that I can use to inform my pre-service teachers' appreciation of the earliest mathematical experiences of the children they will teach. ... the volume should be of interest to mathematics teacher educators. ... The book contains many activities and references to common materials and games that can be effortlessly incorporated into daily family activities." (Katherine Safford-Ramus, MAA Reviews, October, 2017)
