Reviews
Exploring Math and Science in PreschoolÌýtakes a familiar preschool activity and shows us how to build on it, describing in detail additional activities and strategies to enhance children’s understanding. The numerous photographs make children’s thinking visible and offer many examples of children engaging in mathematical thinking and science explorations.

The math articles in this book include science concepts and ideas, and the science articles include math concepts and ideas. In addition, language, vocabulary, and books are integrated into almost every article—just as it should be! I will add this book to my library, and I anticipate using it often.
