This resource kit was created for early learning practitioners and teachers to help them support the development of numeracy skills of children in their care. The information presented in the kit is based on a comprehensive review of recent well-designed research studies on the learning and teaching of mathematics. The findings of these studies are communicated in an accessible format, making this resource an effective reference tool that can be used in daily practice. The kit is divided into two volumes: one for early learning and child care practitioners and the other for elementary school teachers. Each volume includes a research summary and several additional components. The current volume, which is intended for practitioners that work with children 0 to 5 years of age, includes the following components: Ages & Stages of Numeracy Development (a resource for early childhood educators on developmental milestones); Creating a Math-Rich Environment (tips for early childhood educators on how to make their classrooms more inviting and conducive to mathematics learning); Activity Cards (learning activities for children 3-5 years of age); Resources for Child Care Practitioners (a list of both print and online resources on supporting early numeracy); Math with Kids is Fun! and Ages and Stages of Numeracy Development (two resource sheets from the Canadian Child Care Federation); Glossary of Terms (definitions of technical terms related to early numeracy).
