educational resources.
Ann Gervasoni is
Associate Professor of Numeracy at the Faculty of Education, Monash
University in Melbourne. Ann has worked in educational research,
teacher education, professional learning and primary teaching for
35 years. She was a member of the research team for the Australian
Early Numeracy Research Project (1999-2001) in Victoria, and
research director for the Bridging the Numeracy Gap project in
Western Australia and Victoria (2009-2010). Ann’s research and
scholarship focus on mathematics education in early childhood and
primary education, mathematics intervention approaches for students
who are mathematically at-risk, and community approaches for
supporting the learning of those most vulnerable in our
community.

“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)
