ABSTRACT

This is not intended to be a sequence of lessons, to be used one after the other. Instead, it is a collection of ideas for helping children to become interested in number, helping them to understand concepts, and engaging them in the learning process in a meaningful and stimulating way. I have given examples of ways in which we have helped children to be interested in and to understand maths. Many of these ideas can be adapted for use at various levels of understanding and development.
