Exploring math and science

From materials to activities, puzzles to worms, the content in this book offers practical strategies and engaging visuals to help teachers support preschoolers' explorations of math and science. Ideas are organized into two sections: math and science. Each section features ideas and activities related to that topic, as well as useful tips so teachers can immediately try these strategies in the classroom. At the end of each section is a checklist to help you review how you and the children use math and science-related learning centers. Through bright drawings, the learning center illustrations showcase innovative ways to design, arrange, and implement best practices. The accompanying text identifies what children do and learn in a particular center, how the center can include children's families and cultures, tips for setting up the center, and suggestions for stretching your budget.
