A counting book with extra-strong pages for tough little hands. From ten back down to zero, a little child plays with its toys, counting everything from ten skittles to seven toy cars, three jigsaw puzzles and two wooden animals but it is the number one that holds the biggest surprise.

Learn about numbers the Montessori way with this line of board books following the world-leading educational approach, THE MONTESSORI METHOD! Montessori education values the development of the whole child-physically, socially, emotionally, cognitively. These books tap into the Montessori Method at home, allowing children to discover and engage with concepts in a holistic way that promotes a drive for knowledge and self-motivation. In NUMBERS, children are invited to imagine, touch, mimic, and learn about numbers and how they function in the world around us. Infused with humor and math concepts that both engage and challenge children, this book is sure to inspire a generation of mathematicians! Learn more with THE MONTESSORI METHOD: FEELINGS!

A comprehensive annotated guide to 663 counting books, divided into ten subject areas. Each section includes a description of the subject area, an annotated bibliography of related books, and a number of activities that can be used in connection with counting and math books. Reproducible activity pages are included in each section.

For all trainee and practising early years teachers and classroom assistants, this is an accessible guide to a wide range of research evidence about the teaching and learning of early number.

The book has an introductory chapter that gets the reader started quickly with programming in Perl. The initial part of the book discusses Perl expressions, statements, control flow, built-in data types such as arrays and hashes, and complex data structures built using references. On Perl has several chapters covering specialized topics. The chapter on socket-based network programming deals with forking and using fork to write complex interactive client-server programs. There is a chapter with in-depth discussion of CGI programming including error-handling and security issues that arise. The chapter on web-client programming deals with writing programs that access Web pages, fill up GET and POST forms, handle cookies and redirected Web pages. The book has several unique chapters not found in any other book on Perl in the market. The chapter on security discusses hashes such as MD5, message authentication codes (MACs), digital signature schemes, and encryption techniques such as DES, Rijndael, and RSA. Other chapters deal with writing recursive programs that work with files and directories; this chapter also discusses predefined modules that deal with portability in file names and paths across operating systems, recursive traversal of file hierarchies and tarring and untarring of filles. The chapter on functional programming illustrates that Perl functions are first-class, can be used to write closures and can be composed to form more complex functions. In particular, this can be useful for programming in artificial intelligence.
