Developing Children's Mathematical Graphics is a comprehensive resource offering a complete framework for providing flexible professional development. The pack will help those leading professional development to support early years practitioners and teachers in developing their understanding of children's mathematical graphics by: appreciating young children's early use of graphical marks and representations, and their relationship to children's emerging understanding of the abstract symbolic language of mathematics; recognizing and beginning to understand children's mathematical graphics; and, developing effective pedagogy and practice. An invaluable source of guidance on harnessing the beginnings of written mathematics and the resource pack has the capacity, in a fairly fundamental way, to help change the way we think about and approach early mathematical development.

Helps you appreciate children's scribbles as the beginning of early mathematical development 
Children's Mathematical Graphics offers a flexible training resource and a comprehensive framework for providing Continuing Professional Development (CPD). It will also help you support teachers and practitioners to: 
<ul>
<li>appreciate early mark-making and its relationship to children’s mathematical graphics </li>
<li>recognize and begin to understand children’s mathematical graphics </li>
<li>develop their pedagogy and practice</li>
</ul>
 The CPD booklet outlines some 38 sessions that can be used as training and includes prompts for discussion, learning points, and how to run the activities. The CD will include give examples to include in the CPD activities and could be useful in PowerPoint presentations.

Children’s Mathematical Graphics

Open University Press

This book challenges traditional beliefs and practices of teaching 'written' mathematics in early childhood. It gives theoretical underpinnings and offers exciting insights and context to children's early mathematical thinking and in particular into children's mathematical graphics, showing how this supports their understanding of the abstract symbolic language of mathematics. Drawing on a wide range of examples, it illustrates and explains how children explore and communicate their mathematical thinking through their mathematical graphics, and how this begins in play. The book looks at the power of children's own marks, symbols and other graphical representations to convey meanings, exploring how they support complex thinking. The authors explore the relationship between children's play and meaning making. Rather than viewing mathematics as a separate subject or as a set of basic 'skills' to be transmitted, they demonstrate that in supportive learning cultures children develop their own mathematical thinking to solve problems. Key features include:  Numerous new examples and case studies of children from birth to 8 years,highlighting the complexity and richness of children's thinking  Explanation of pedagogical issues - showing how they can support rich play and mathematics  Draws on the authors' latest research  This book is valuable reading for students, teachers, primary mathematics coordinators' and all early years' professionals working in the Early Years Foundation Stage and Key Stage One.

Young Children's Experimental Cookery encourages Early Years practitioners and teachers to take an innovative and creative approach to introducing young children to food and cooking. The book addresses wider issues such as healthy eating and food preparation skills, but also moves beyond the concept of traditional cookery lessons to celebrate food as a creative medium, offering immense scope for multi-sensory exploration and a variety of high quality learning experiences. Practitioners are encouraged to abandon recipes, take a step back, and afford children the freedom to chop, mix, stir and concoct their own creations, exploring fresh ingredients and experimenting with new tastes and smells along the way. Bridging the gap between food preparation and the development of confidence, imagination and creative-thinking skills, this open-ended approach to cooking sessions will equip children with skills which go far beyond those needed in the kitchen. Featuring full-colour photographs throughout, as well as detailed case studies and practical tips for various seasons and food groups, this accessible and exciting resource is ideal for practitioners, teachers, parents and budding chefs! Every school and Early Years setting should have at least one copy in their staff room.
