About The Book:

"Learning and Teaching Early Math" by Douglas H. Clements and Julie Sarama is an essential resource for pre-service and in-service teachers looking to deepen their understanding of early mathematics education. The book introduces the concept of "learning trajectories," a powerful tool for diagnosing children's mathematical understanding and guiding effective teaching practices.

Focusing on the natural curiosity and delight children have for math, this book helps educators understand the varying levels of knowledge exhibited by young learners, empowering them to meet individual students’ learning needs. The second edition builds on the success of the first by connecting learning trajectories to the new Common Core State Standards, offering updated research, and incorporating new coverage of patterns and patterning.

Clear, research-based, and full of practical guidelines, this book is designed to help teachers make mathematics teaching more enjoyable and impactful. It’s an invaluable reference for anyone teaching young children how to develop foundational math concepts.
