Lady Q Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 Has anyone used Family Math and Family Math for Younger Children? I was all set to order Family Math, but I saw the other book and wondered if that would be more useful to me since my kids are 5 years old and younger. Is there much in the way of overlap between the two books? I really like the activities we've done so far in Family Math (got it through ILL). Thanks. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flmochamom Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 I much prefer Family Math, even though I own both. I have had 3 children under 4 when purchasing FM for Young Children, but it really doesn't get used that much. And now none of them are under 4. It is easy to adapt the FM to younger kids. Math for the Very Young is also a very good book for this age group. Mathematics Their Way is also great, the book may be out of print, but many of their resources are available at their website (which I would have to look up) for free. -- look under the newsletter section.

stripe Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 I also like books by Claudia Zaslavsky; I own Preparing Young Children for Math, which is OOP but available very cheaply used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
