Today, math is considered to be a special subject in preschool because of its relationship to students? processes of learning and development. When children start preschool, they aiready possess the early knowledge, experience and ability that form the basis for further learning. With this in mind, guided math studies at the preschool stage seek to reinforce and expand learners? acquisition, allowing them to reach a certain level of aptitude, understanding and ability before moving on to the development of more complex concepts. In order to organize and focus early math studies, Richmond Publishing presents the I can do math! series for preschool children. Level C of I can do math! is organized into thirteen distinct areas in accordance with the developmental characteristics of the corresponding age group. These areas are colors, shapes, sizes, positions, logical reasoning, quantifying, grouping, logical sequences, numbers, numerical series, addition, subtraction and graphic organizing. The proposed activities nurture students? evolving mathematical knowledge and abilities. A carefully sequenced program of classroom exercises allows for a tural development of intuition and logical processes. Another aspect that characterizes the I can do math! series is how it takes into account students? ability to use English to talk about the concepts presented. Because of this, it is important for the teacher to encourage students to express their ideas about what they see and do on every page of the book.
