The book "How to Recognise and Support Mathematical Mastery in Young Children's Play" explores young children’s fascination with all things mathematical. Drawing on the 'Talk for Maths Mastery' initiative, it helps practitioners to understand early mathematical development and recognize the math taking place in children’s play.
The book considers how mathematical development and learning is embedded within children’s dispositions and mindsets. Including case studies, links to practice and reflective questions, the chapters reveal what mastery orientation looks like from the children’s perspective in their learning and covers:
• children’s serve and return conversational talk
• mathematical babies and their developmental momentum
• schematic patterns of thinking
• mathematical mark-making
• child-led play
• problem solving
• creative and critical thinking
• how adults can support children’s mathematical talk, thinking and mastery
