Maths Sequences for the Early Years, Challenging Children to Reason Mathematically By Peter Sullivan

Maths Sequences for the Early Years features original learning sequences designed specifically for teachers to use with students in Foundation to Year 2 (ages 5 to 8) and aligned with the content strands of the Australian Curriculum: Mathematics. The learning sequences focus on problem-solving as the ‘beginning’ of learning and understanding – problem-solving leads to reasoning, then builds understanding, and develops fluency through application.

Each sequence includes age-appropriate tasks with curriculum links, necessary language, readily available materials and resources, tips for launching the tasks and consolidating the learning, and suggestions for assessment.
