Moomaw (education, U. of Cincinnati) and Hieronymus' (Arlitt Child and Family Research and Education Center, U. of Cincinnati) practical resource text provides a play-based math curriculum for use by early childhood educators. Reflecting early child learning standards from the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, the 124 math activities and games contained in the book include new activities and proven winners from the authors' previous publications, More Than Counting and Much More Than Counting. The text includes an overview of understanding and applying mathematics standards for young children, followed by sections on specific standards--number and operations, algebra, geometry, measurement, and data analysis and probability--and a chapter on assessment and planning. Each chapter opens with a section of answers to common teacher questions. No subject index is provided. Annotation ©2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
