In this episode, host Heather Bernt-Santy is joined by Herb Ginsburg, a leading expert in children's understanding of mathematics and author of the book Young Children's Amazing Math: A Guide to Understanding and Supporting Early Learning. 

Dr. Ginsburg's book shows readers how math is embedded in children’s everyday lives, how daily routines contribute to the development of important math concepts, and what adults can do to foster the joy of early math learning. Ginsburg describes the development of children’s informal ideas about number, shape, space, pattern, and measurement, and offers many specific activities designed to promote learning.
