Math is so easy, a child can do it . . . all we have to do is let them! Help children build a solid active-learning foundation in math with More Than Counting, by Sally Moomaw and Brenda Hieronymus. The book, a vital part of any comprehensive curriculum, features more than 100 ideas, including unusual new manipulatives, collections, grid games, path games, graphing, and gross-motor play -- in short, a complete math experience for any child.
The popular More Than . . .Series by Sally Moomaw and Brenda Hieronymus is a child-centered integrated curriculum for five important areas of early learning: math, art, music, science, and reading and writing. Each book in the series offers answers to questions that teachers often ask and includes complete directions and illustrations for over 100 hands-on activities. These books are guaranteed to encourage children to explore the wonders of their world! They are ideal for beginning teachers and inclusive classrooms. Softbound, 256 pgs.
"More Than Counting fills a void in the early childhood field. Most of the math idea books currently available present many activities which fail to advance children's thinking in mathematics. This book gets at the heart of the matter, showing dozens of ways to encourage children to construct a rich understanding of number, thus providing the solid foundation needed for more advanced number concepts."
—Sharon Griffin, coordinator of early childhood education, University of South Carolina, Beaufort
"All of the More Than . . . series have gone to my classes for students to see. It is such a teacher-friendly format, one that works well for teachers at various levels of education and experience. Everything is laid out for the teacher: goals, materials, descriptions of activities; with enough theoretical framework provided at the outset to help students and teachers understand the rationale for the activities. These books should be in every child care center's resource room."
—Louise E. Bower, professor of education, University of Cincinnati

Review: The Midwest Book Review- Library Bookwatch February 2011 - February 1, 2011
An early start on education is vitally important for later and tougher challenges. "More Than Counting" is a guide to bringing a higher degree of math into early elementary school surriculum that willhelp young learners get a head-start on later forms of math while still being simple enough to grasp for most students. These concepts will go far in fostering a love of learning and adeptness, and Sally Moomaw and Brenda Hieronymus draw on their own wide experience for success. "More than Counting" is a strong pick for any early childhood educator.
