Biography
Di Chilvers is an advisory consultant, author and trainer at WatchMeGrow and the Development Map, UK.
"With an excellent layout and indexing, appendices of ready to use practical tools, real life learning ‘stories’, and full colour photographs, this is essential reading for early years practitioners looking to develop mathematical mastery in their work with the youngest students.
I particularly liked the concept of the ‘Maths is everywhere’ audit, encouraging adults to see that maths can happen anywhere, at any time. This book would make an excellent addition to the Continuing Professional Development library of any primary school." - Helen Emery, The School Librarian
