What Works Clearinghouse
The goal of this practice guide is to offer educators specific, evidence-based recommendations that address the challenge of teaching early math to children ages 3 to 6. The guide provides practical, clear information on critical topics related to teaching early math and is based on the best available evidence as judged by the authors. The guide is organized around five recommendations: (1) Teach number and operations using a developmental progression; (2) Teach geometry, patterns, measurement, and data analysis using a developmental progression; (3) Use progress monitoring to ensure that math instruction builds on what each child knows; (4) Teach children to view and describe their world mathematically; and (5) Dedicate time each day to teaching math, and integrate math instruction throughout the school day. The following are appended: (1) Postscript from the Institute of Education Sciences; (2) About the Authors; (3) Disclosure of Potential Conflicts of Interest; and (4) Rationale for Evidence Ratings. (Contains a glossary, 18 tables,11 examples, 7 figures, and 437 endnotes.)
