The book "MY LITTLE BIG MATH BOOK" illustrates the fundamental mathematical concepts children learn through everyday experiences, beginning with the very early stages of development. Lars Rönnbäck, the author, explores the acquisition of concepts such as identitydifference, and sameness by observing how children learn to identify and differentiate objects. The author then delves into set theory, discussing the creation of sets through extension and intension, as well as cardinalityunion, and intersection.
