Math in Minutes, Easy Activities for Children Ages 4–8

Sharon MacDonald

Proceeding from the premise that math is not desk work for young children, the 150 fun, simple activities in Math in Minutes, Easy Activities for Children Ages 4–8 introduce children to early math concepts by capitalizing on their developmental strengths. Each chapter begins with easy tasks and progresses to the more difficult, and children who want an extra challenge can tackle "Take It Up a Level," available at the end of many sections. All activities use materials found in any classroom and correlate with National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) standards. 208 pp. $19.95 from Gryphon House, Inc.
