Mathematics Learning in Early Childhood: Paths Toward Excellence and Equity (2009)

Infant mathematics is essential to the present and future educational success of young children. According to research, almost all infants have the ability to learn and master mathematical abilities. In addition, young children are enjoying their early informal experience in mathematics. Unfortunately, the possibilities of many children in mathematics are not fully realized, especially for children who are economically disadvantaged. This is partly due to the lack of the opportunity to learn mathematics through early childhood and daily experiences of families and communities. Improvement in mathematics education for young children can provide the foundation for school success for young children

Depending on a comprehensive review of the study, infant mathematics learning lists important areas that should be the focus of infant mathematics education, explores the scope in which they are currently integrated into the infant education environment, and these Identify the change. It is necessary to improve the quality of mathematical experience of the child. This book is a call for action to improve the state of math in early childhood. Decision-makers and practitioners - those who devise policies that directly influence children and their families to influence early childhood education

Conclusion A positive attitude towards mathematics and a solid foundation of mathematics learning began in early childhood. These good beginnings reflect all the features of good early childhood education: a deep understanding of child development and learning, a powerful teacher, a family and child community, an infant curriculum based on research, educational practical knowledge, and children Continuing assessment of learning services; and insist on respecting the infant's family, culture and community.
