The authors explain how to use math play and language to support the development of counting and other basic math concepts in young children ages one to five and improve their future learning. Using a numeracy workshop they developed called LittleCounters, they describe how to use mathematical talk and purposeful play to develop these concepts, support the development of counting beyond simple rote counting, and provide mathematically rich environments before formal schooling. They outline the research on early math understanding, ability, and development; different types of play and how play environments and activities can optimize math learning; counting principles and play-based strategies; pairing math learning with mathematical talk; other types of mathematical thinking that children should engage in before schooling; how to include these ideas in everyday routines; and what to consider when the child starts school.
