identifying math activities for a theme-based curriculum, for incorporating a letter of the week, or for a spur-of-the-moment filler idea. This child-centered text focuses on math concepts that preschoolers can understand and with which they can grow. Children, teachers and parents will enjoy the activities as they explore such things as number concepts, one-to-one correspondence, spatial concepts and patterning. Many activity choices are given for each targeted alphabet letter. An appendix of patterns enables the teacher or parent to create manipulatives for the activities. And, a supply list of common household items and a sample letter encouraging family participation makes it easy-to- locate items needed for the math center.
