I love math! But my wife and three homeschooled boys, 10, 6 and 2, don't always share my enthusiasm. This book has helped me realize the seemingly limitless opportunities to help my children learn the importance of and enjoy math, and I never thought about how much math they are already doing! Math is, indeed, everywhere. In these pages I found easy to understand theory behind childhood development and also wonderfully practical and specific examples of math learning. I highly recommend this entertaining and useful guide for any adult who raises or teaches children. Whether you are a math lover or math hater, this book is for you!
