Perfect for Parents. . . (and teachers, too)

Like the other books in this series, READY, SET, COUNT is an easy-to-use guide for anyone involved with the care and education of young children. Dr. Barron and Ms. Young combine time-tested Montessori Mathematics curriculum with realistic and concrete math experiences, to help children gain a meaningful and holistic mathematical view of thwe world. Readers will love the variety of activities presented in this book: from off-the-cuff games designed for capturing that "teachable moment" to more complex activities that deeply involve grown-up and child alike. Marlene Barron is one of the smartest and coolest people involved in Montessori education today, and READY, SET, COUNT may be one of the smartest and coolest books.
