`This wonderful book contains everything you need to know to teach maths to children in the nursery and infant school. It is incredibly thorough, very well thought out and with sufficient detail to satisfy every need from a student writing an essay and planning a lesson, to classroom teachers and those on a Masters course. The style is clear, illustrations are thought provoking and the whole structure of the book demonstrates an in-depth understanding of what Early Years classroom teachers really want to know....This book deserves to be read by everyone in Early Years education because it is so utterly practical - yet also analytical with plenty of cross references to both research and resources. Great stuff!' - Primary Maths & Science `This book is very thorough, practical and accessible....I think this book deserves to be on primary bookshelves to be dipped into, because it does encourage good reflective practice and suggests ways of tackling problems effectively. I especially like the way it recognises that at all times we are dealing with people: parents, children, teachers and other educational professionals' - Mathematics Teaching
