Excerpt from Work and Play With Numbers
It has been recognized ever since the days of Pestalozzi that children when they first enter school have a taste for number work and also a considerable knowledge of numer ical forms. They use numbers in their games, they talk about them, they like to count, and they enjoy a little work and play with numbers within their mental grasp.
On the other hand, children of this age are not ready for such a study of arithmetic as the formal textbook offers. A textbook of that kind would take away their love for number and would place upon them a burden heavier than they could carry.
Not to begin the study of the subject when the child enters school, however, is to say that the child's natural tastes should not be fostered. What we need is to intro duce, in an informal and attractive fashion, such number work as is within his grasp at this time.
Experience shows that children can easily learn the combinations in addition, and part of those in multipli cation, before taking up a formal study of the subject; in other words, they can cover the work included in this little book. Since the entire multiplication table is some times required, it is given at the end of the book, to be developed in the usual manner if necessary.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating realm of early childhood mathematics education, specifically focusing on the period when children first enter school. The author, drawing upon the educational philosophies of Pestalozzi, emphasizes the importance of nurturing a child's innate curiosity and enjoyment of numbers. The book recognizes that young learners possess a natural inclination towards numerical concepts, often incorporating counting and number play into their games and daily activities. Yet, traditional textbooks, with their formal approach, can stifle this enthusiasm and overwhelm young minds. To address this challenge, the author advocates for an engaging and informal introduction to number work, tailored to the developmental stage of early learners. This approach involves playful activities, rhymes, and captivating illustrations to introduce fundamental concepts like addition and multiplication. By understanding the natural learning processes of children and providing them with age-appropriate tools and guidance, educators can lay a solid foundation for future mathematical success. This book serves as a valuable resource for teachers and parents alike, offering insights into how to cultivate a lifelong love of learning in young minds.
