Features: It should be said that in most normal children, the mental age is consistent with the chronological age, but there are also a small number of children whose mental age is higher or lower than their chronological age. In terms of mathematical ability development, they show differences compared to children of the same chronological age but share common characteristics with children of the same mental age. This indicates that determining the content of mathematical learning based on a child's chronological age cannot meet the developmental needs of all children. Therefore, we have developed this "New Concept Mathematics Curriculum for Young Children" based on the characteristics of number ability development among children of the same mental age. Teachers and parents can not only use this curriculum to teach children mathematics but also preliminarily assess their mental age development by observing how well they grasp the material. The book is divided into four volumes, each suitable for children aged 2-3, 3-4, 4-5, and 5-6 in mental age. Each volume consists of three books, covering all the content and requirements for preschool mathematics education. The volumes are progressive, helping teachers and parents to systematically teach children mathematical knowledge. This book not only fully considers the inherent logic, scientificity, systematicity, and comprehensiveness of mathematical knowledge in its content arrangement but also takes into account the cognitive characteristics of children at different mental age stages in its methodological choices. This allows children to master mathematical knowledge through looking, talking, doing, and playing, thereby enhancing their interest in learning mathematics. This volume is suitable for children aged 3-4 in mental age and includes content such as perception of sets, recognition and addition of numbers within 10, preliminary knowledge of geometry, concepts of quantity, as well as time and space knowledge.
