Fostering Children's Number Sense in Grades K-2is a powerful, hands-on resource that helps in-service teachers, curriculum coaches, and math intervention specialists ensure children's deep understanding of addition and subtraction in ways that enable long-term growth. Packed with child-centered instructional strategies, powerful and engaging learning materials, and revealing assessment tools, the book is clearly laid out and cross-referenced to the Common Core State Standards.
Greg Nelson, Ph.D. has spent the last 35 years involved in early childhood education as a classroom teacher, center owner and director, intern trainer, workshop presenter, author, early childhood consultant, and university instructor. His interests include devising curriculum to support the emergence of early math and science literacy in children, and exploring the interface of developmentally appropriate practice and world-class educational standards. Author of A Teacher’s Bag of Tricks and Math at Their Own Pace, he currently serves as professor of early childhood education at Bridgewater State University in Massachusetts and is president of the Massachusetts Association of Early Childhood Teacher Educators.
