language which helps us describe,explore andexplain the world we live in.So the earlier children developan appreciation and understanding of maths,the better.  \nWe use maths all the time-when we shop or travel from oneplace to another,for example.Even when we fill the kettle we areestimating and judging quantities.Many games and puzzlesinvolve maths.So too do stories and poems,oftenin an imaginative and interesting way.  \nMaths Together is a collection of high-quality picture booksdesigned to introduce children,simply and enjoyably,to basicmathematical ideas-from counting and measuring to pattern andprobąbility.By listening to the stories and rhymes,talking aboutthem and asking questions,children will gain the confidence to tryout the mathematical ideas for themselves-an important stepin their numeracy development.  \nYou don't have to be a mathematician to help your childlearn maths.Just as by reading aloud you play a vital role in theirliteracy development,so by sharing the Maths Together bookswith your child,you will play an important part in developing theirunderstanding of mathematics.To help you,each book has detailednotes at the back,explaining the mathematical ideas that itintroduces,with suggestions for further related activities.  \nWith Maths Together,you can count on doing thevery best for your child.  \nTo Elliot  \nH.H.  \nText first
