Summary:

Teaching Number provides a structured approach to teaching early numeracy, which has been extensively developed through the "Mathematics Recovery" and "Count Me In Too Projects" in the United States, Australia, and the United Kingdom. Building on the assessment of children's strategies addressed in their book Early Numeracy, the authors show how to advance children's learning across five stages -- emergent, perceptual, figurative, initial number, and facile number. Teaching procedures are organized into key teaching topics. Each key teaching topic includes: A clearly defined purpose Detailed teaching procedures and learning tasks Application to whole class, small group, and individual settings A link to the Learning Framework in Number
