Mathematics in kindergarten. Educational and practical guide for preschool educators

A small child is a born researcher, and mathematics for him is not a separate subject, but a whole world, insanely fascinating and desirable. After all, mathematical concepts live literally in every game and in every business.
How many ice cream do I want to eat? Lots and lots? Five? One big ball or four small ones? What about dividing equally with a friend? The concepts of quantity, space, form, time are absorbed as naturally as speech. To help the preschooler qualitatively master this part of life means to give him a reliable base for the same natural and fearless "real" study of mathematics at school.
It is easy to do it. The main task of the adult is to maintain this interest, to prompt (competently call) concepts in time and initiate "mathematical" situations. There is everything in kindergarten for this: a developing environment, a children"s community, always ready for new games, the fruitful experience of teachers. And here there will always be fresh ideas, easily feasible and not providing for special costs. In our manual - many such ideas. Thanks to them, every teacher will be able to make friends with his preschool children with mathematics for life.
