"Elizabeth
Carruthers and Maulfry Worthington have been widely
recognised for their work in young children's early
mathematical development for many years and this book is a
marvellous testament to their enthusiasm and expertise
regarding this area of enquiry. The book is scholarly,
contains the most delightful array of examples of young
children's mathematical drawings, and will inspire many
researchers and practitioners to look again at how they
think about this aspect of children's learning. A real
treat" (David Whitebread, University of Cambridge,

These materials
offer a flexible resource and a
comprehensive framework for providing
Professional Development (PD) courses. The
PD handbook outlines in detail a number of
full and half-day courses and many
activities: it includes many children's
examples, prompts for discussion, learning
points and guidance on how to run the
activities.

This invaluable
resource offers practical guidance for early
years and primary mathematics advisors,
leaders, managers and headteachers on
understanding the beginnings of children's
mathematical graphics, showing how they
support the abstract 'written' symbolic
language of mathematics. This resource will
also be of interest to lecturers on early
childhood and on early years and primary
mathematics courses.
