This is a great book and has given me a lot of ideas on how to help my son with math concepts in ways I wouldn't have thought of...his teacher recommended it and I'm glad she did.
Wonderful PreK-2 Approach to Math
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
Last year, I took a continuing ed course and this book was a part of the curriculum. I am a homeschool mom who was formerly a classroom teacher. But, I taught middle school not early elementary. At first, because I didn't have a lot of experience with this age, I didn't know how effective the activities in this book would be. But, after using it for a year, I would enthusiastically recommend it to both classroom teachers and homeschool teachers! It is a wonderful approach to helping young students really grasp and understand math--not just learn wrote mathematics. One of the things I love most about this book is how she clearly identifies what children need to learn, conceptually, in order to truly learn how to count, understand patterns, and grasp more/less. What's also wonderful is how little prep the activities in the book take! They are so easy to prep for! As a homeschool mom of a 4 year old and 2 year old with one on the way, my time is already stretched. But, this book allows me to do interactive lessons with my daughters (and modify them for my 2 year old) with very little prep involved.
Developing Number Concepts is fantastic!

I'm an elementary school teacher and since I've purchased this book, I've used it countless times to develop lesson plans! Kathy Richardson is a master at creating activities that invite children to gain a true understanding of math concepts through investigation. I love this book and would recommend it to anyone who teaches math to young children. Parents could also do these simple activities at home with their children. Excellent investment!

As a preschool teacher I found this book invaluable indeed! It definitely has everything you would ever need. The games are self explanatory and the blackline masters are wonderful! My class loves them!! Cheri Massachusetts
