Beyond 1, 2, 3: Strengthening Early Mathematics Education provides early years educators with the theoretical foundations and pedagogical possibilities to create mathematics curriculum that will engage and inspire young learners. Organized into explorations of learning environments, play, technology, and family and community engagement, its chapters bring together mathematical content and contexts including outdoor and land-based learning, coding, and STEM, and uniquely share the practice and research of Canadian mathematics educators and scholars.

This book covers many bases—different pedagogical approaches, varied ways to engage children, beneficial ways to bring coding and technology to these classrooms, and the importance of parents and guardians. This book is rich with ideas that, collectively, illustrate where fully developed instruction for young children currently resides in mathematics.
