Engaging Young Children in Mathematics: Standards for Early Childhood Mathematics Education brings together the combined wisdom of a diverse group of experts involved with early childhood mathematics. The book originates from the landmark 2000 Conference on Standards for Prekindergarten and Kindergarten Mathematics Education Conference, attended by representatives from almost every state developing standards for young children's mathematics: federal government officials ; mathematicians ; mathematics educators ; researchers from mathematics education, early childhood education, and psychology ; curriculum developers ; teachers : policy makers ; and professionals from organizations such as the National Conference of Teachers of Mathematics and the National Association for the Education of Young Children. The main goal of the Conference was to work collectively to help those responsible for framing and implementing early childhood mathematics standards. Although it has its roots in the Conference, the expanded scope of the standards and recommendations covered in this book includes the full range of kindergarten to Grade 2.
The volume is organized into two main parts and an online appendix. Part One, Major Themes and Recommendations, offers a framework for thinking about prekindergarten-Grade 2 mathematics education and specific recommendations. Part Two, Elaboration of Major Themes and Recommendations, provides substantive detail regarding young students' understandings of mathematical ideas. Each Part includes five parallel subsections: "Standards in Early Childhood Education" ; "Mathematics Standards and Guidelines" ; "Curriculum, Learning. Teaching. and Assessment" ; "Professional Development" ; and "Toward the Future: Implementation and Policy."
As a whole the book : presents comprehensive summaries of research that provide specific guidelines for standards, curriculum, and teaching ; takes the recent reports and recommendations for early childhood mathematics education to the next level; integrates practical details and research throughout; and provides a succinct, but thorough review of research on the topics, sequences, and learning trajectories that children can and should learn at each of their first years of life, with specific developmentai guidelines that suggest appropriate content for each topic for each year from 2-year-olds to 7-year-olds.
This is an indispensable volume for mathematics educators, researchers, curriculum developers, teachers and policy makers, including those who create standards, scope and sequences, and curricula for young children and professional teacher development materials, and students in mathematics education, early childhood trainers, teacher educators, and faculty in mathematics education.
