Review
The FAMILY MATH books frequently are used and recommended by teachers to help families rediscover the fun and excitement in making mathematics discoveries together. With an emphasis on four-to eight-year-old children, activities in the FAMILY MATH for Young Children book use commonly found items and bring family members together in the process of learning from each other. Each activity or exploration is concisely organized into five sections: "This Is About," "You Will Need," "Getting Ready," "Activity," and "Insight." Parents are encouraged to give children numerous opportunities for exploration and are reminded of the role that a child's development plays in accomplishing tasks.
I consider this book to be an excellent resource to help teachers bridge the gap between home and school. It will go far in building the confidence in mathematics for both parents and their children. -- Reviewed by Iren e M. Raber, Hamilton-Wenham Regional School District, South Hamilton, MA 01982. Excerpts from Teaching Children Mathematics, NCTM, Feb. 1998.

Little ones can love math!,

This review is from: Family Math for Young Children: Comparing (Equals Series)) (Paperback)
FAMILY MATH FOR YOUNG CHILDREN is an excellent source of fun activities to do with pre-school children. Each activity helps to instill an appreciation for mathematics and emphasizes mathematical discovery. If all young children had the opportunity to experience these activities, we would have fewer adults afraid of mathematics!

If you are looking for a way to teach math to young children without them knowing they are learning, then buy this book. It is so much fun, not to mention the very real and advanced math concepts they will be learning in such a natural way. I love it! Don't forget there are more levels to this program and all of them are equally as enjoyable.

This book is pretty good. It is not a complete curriculum, but it does give good ideas on cementing math ideas in young minds.
