The importance of early childhood mathematics:

There is a growing body of evidence suggesting that children from birth to age 8, are capable of more advanced mathematical thinking in the areas of number, geometry, measurement, algebraic thinking, and data analysis than what was thought in years prior (Hachey, 2013).

In early childhood education it has been demonstrated that a correlation exists between the level of a child's mathematical ability and their future academic success. The reverse of this relationship has also been observed, where children who are behind the mathematical skills of their peers, continue to fall behind in future studies (Pelkowski, et al. 2019).

Furthermore, it is well established in literature that the more maths learning opportunities a child is exposed to, the more growth they will experience in math knowledge (Piasta, et al. 2015).

This book is designed to provide a math learning opportunity to foster the curiosity and confidence of children aged 6-8 and set them well on the path to academic success. These 36 math logic puzzles will engage and stimulate your child's problem solving ability through addition and subtraction of healthy foods.
