The chapters of the book are: (1) "The Child Learns, the Child Teaches," highlighting what teachers may learn from observing and listening to children, focusing on every child and not just the smart or the needy, and encouraging investigation so children can construct their own knowledge; (2) "Principles in Teaching Mathematics to Young Children"; (3) "Mathematics Processes in the Early Childhood Curriculum"; (4) "Number and Operations in the Early Childhood Curriculum"; (5) "Patterns, Functions, and Algebra"; (6) "Geometry and Spatial Sense"; (7) "Measurement"; (8) "Data Analysis and Probability"; and (9) "Questions...and Some Answers." Two appendices list expectations for Pre K-2 from NCTM's "Principles and Standards," and an annotated bibliography of books to enhance mathematics learning. (Contains 79 references.) (HTH)
