Picking up where More Than Counting left off, Much More Than Counting is filled with more math manipulatives more grid games, and more path games. Over one hundred activities that will make math more fun for children are included.

The book addresses those questions most asked by teachers, providers, and parents, as well as material about toddlers, children with disabilities, estimation, and patterning -- topics that often are forgotten in an early math curriculum. Each of the activities is accompanied by a photograph and detailed explanation of how to set up the activity or construct materials.
