Math and the brain: Insights for early childhood educators.

This paper presents basic neuropedagogical content knowledge )N-PCK( on the development of mathematical understanding in early childhood, in order to enable early childhood educators to understand neurological findings on mathematical development in the brain in an informed way and apply these findings to educational practice. The paper presents seven neuropedagogical principles surrounding mathematical development in early childhood, together with insights and practical examples that can be used to impact early childhood education. This review might also be used by teacher educators teaching courses on early numeracy, and as a basis for future research in this field. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
