QA135

Thwaites, who has worked in primary education and child development in the UK, presents 100 ideas for teaching math to children in the primary grades. Concepts of number are emphasized. Ideas consist of short number activities and games such as hangman and dominoes, as well as investigations and longer activities that use puzzles and teach probability, for instance, and activities for measures and time and shape, space, and design. Age range, variation, differentiation, group size, extension, and resources are detailed. There is no index or bibliography.
