Based on the idea that children learn language and mathematics in much the same way, and that they can learn both simultaneously, the five sections of this journal present teaching ideas addressing various aspects of this process. The first section discusses the "language of math" with reference to both the child and the teacher. The integration of math and the language program is treated in the second section, emphasizing ways in which teachers can create and exploit experiences to add to children's mathematical vocabulary. The third section presents several classroom projects designed to teach children about weight and length measurement, vital statistics, and time. Further classroom ideas are included in the fourth section, which focuses on math and writing. The final section addresses math and reading, claiming that the former begins with the latter. Books useful for introducing the concepts of size, shape, counting, time, and multiplication and cooking are recommended. (JD)
