Exploring Math and Science in Preschool takes a familiar preschool activity and shows us how to build on it, describing in detail additional activities and strategies to enhance children’s understanding. The numerous photographs make children’s thinking visible and offer many examples of children engaging in mathematical thinking and science explorations. — Peggy Ashbrook, Preschool Science Teacher, The Early Years Columnist, and blogger for Science and Children
