Purchase options and add-ons

Written for pre-service and in-service educators, as well as parents of children in preschool through grade five, this book connects research in cognitive development and math education to offer an accessibly written and practical introduction to the science of elementary math learning.

Structured according to children’s mathematical development, How Children Learn Math systematically reviews and synthesizes the latest developmental research on mathematical cognition into accessible sections that explain both the scientific evidence available and its practical classroom application. Written by an author team with decades of collective experience in cognitive learning research, clinical learning evaluations, and classroom experience working with both teachers and children, this amply illustrated text offers a powerful resource for understanding children’s mathematical development, from quantitative intuition to word problems, and helps readers understand and identify math learning difficulties that may emerge in later grades.

Aimed at pre-service and in-service teachers and educators with little background in cognitive development, the book distills important findings in cognitive development into clear, accessible language and practical suggestions. The book therefore serves as an ideal text for pre-service early childhood, elementary, and special education teachers, as well as early career researchers, or as a professional development resource for in-service teachers, supervisors and administrators, school psychologists, homeschool parents, and other educators.

5.0 out of 5 stars From Research to Classroom!
Reviewed in the United States on September 11, 2023
If you ‘re an educator dedicated to your students’ math success or a prospective teacher in search of guidance, “How Children Learn Math” is an essential read. Nancy Krasa along with her co-authors Karen Tzanetopoulous and Colleen Maas masterfully condense a wealth of cutting-edge research into an unfolding narrative that delves into how the human brain comprehends the concept of quantity. This journey begins in a child’s early years as they construct their understanding within their home environment, forming mental images as they explore concepts like length, size, and distance. This phase presents a prime opportunity for engaging in reflective conversations focused on tangible objects and enriching vocabulary.

The authors then explore elementary math skills through fifth grade, recognizing these as the foundation of all mathematical learning. While the book may initially seem substantial, you’ll soon come to appreciate its thoughtful organization and structure. Each section features concise introductions and summaries. Additionally, nearly every chapter wraps up with carefully curated activities designed to reinforce the fundamental skills introduced in that chapter. These activities have been categorized by skill area, providing teachers with effective tools to support students who may be struggling.

I’d like to underscore a critical point highlighted in the book: The authors emphasize the strong connection between spatial skills and proficiency in mathematics. They observe that in specific spatial tasks, males tend to outperform females, which can influence a student’s inclination towards careers in math-intensive STEM fields. The encouraging news is that visual spatial skills can taught; for most students, they can be nurtured. The optimal environment for fostering this growth spans from the preschool years through middle school, with an emphasis on starting as early as possible.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent resource for early childhood teachers!
Reviewed in the United States on July 23, 2023
I found this book to be very informative in not only explaining the many stages children go through in order to learn math, but also in providing suggestions on how to help children go through these stages. I teach pre-K in a public school and I now better understand where my focus should be in my math instruction for not only whole group, but small group and individual instruction as well. I particularly found the last chapter that addresses “Screening” to be very helpful as the screening examples are paired with the chapter of the book in which that particular math skill is thoroughly addressed. I plan on not only using the screening tools to drive my instruction, but also the lesson suggestions within this book. I definitely recommend this book to elementary teachers.
