Math from Three to Seven follows the journey of a preschool mathematical circle led by Alexander Zvonkin, defying traditional schooling methods and allowing kids as young as three to grapple with deep mathematical concepts. Zvonkin’s unedited journal reflects the challenges and triumphs of teaching young minds to think creatively and critically. Through repetitive problem-solving and a focus on team collaboration, preschoolers tackle combinatorics and isomorphism, defying common assumptions about children’s intellectual capabilities. The book challenges ingrained beliefs about childhood cognition and emphasizes the importance of passion and perseverance in cultivating young mathematicians. It is a unique and insightful exploration of early math education.
