Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
This book explores how professionals can engage and inspire parents to support their young children?s mathematics learning. Bringing together international experts, researchers and scholars, it proposes a framework for engaging with and supporting parents, including those who are less aware of the crucial development of children?s mathematical skills in the early years. Focusing on mathematics learning from birth to 5 years, the book?s underlying assumption is that it is possible to offer guidance to professionals working with families with young children concerning how to engage and support families in the area of mathematics learning, including those families who seem alienated from education services. Specifically, the respective chapters present a framework for understanding children?s early mathematical development and the important role of families in this regard. They describe effective strategies for engaging families in their children?s mathematics learning, including those who are marginalised and experience multiple disadvantages, so that all families can best support their children?s mathematical learning and their development of positive attitudes towards learning. In closing, hurdles and opportunities within the systems surrounding family engagement are addressed.

?This book geminated from an early childhood numeracy project in Australia titled Numeracy@Home. ? As a mathematics teacher educator I found this book rich in material that I can use to inform my pre-service teachers? appreciation of the earliest mathematical experiences of the children they will teach. ? the volume should be of interest to mathematics teacher educators. ? The book contains many activities and references to common materials and games that can be effortlessly incorporated into daily family activities.? (Katherine Safford-Ramus, MAA Reviews, October, 2017)
