Mathematics for Young Minds Beginning Processes is an instruction activity book filled with 75 developmentally sequenced Pre-K to 1st grade mathematical processes activities.
It also includes blackline masters and informal assessment guidelines.
Book Overview
This book focuses on the mathematical background and research base of children using initial mathematical reasoning processes. The goal is to help young learners strengthen their abilities to represent, reason, communicate and problem solve. This is done by developing the following five beginning processes:
- Identifying and Describing Attributes
- Matching
- Sorting
- Comparing
- Ordering
Activities Overview
In early childhood, children should experience both repeating and growing patterns. The activities in each unit of this book contains three activities for each of the following five mathematical strands:
- Number
- Space and Shape
