RESEARCH & ARTICLES
In Lillian Mongeau’s Early Math Matters: Top Research Discusses His Work, a study shows that early math skills are one of the best predictors of future success in both math and literacy. This study has become a cornerstone of the growing movement among early childhood educators to boost math instruction in preschool through 3rd grade.

Many books support the underlying structure of the Page A Day Math Learning System. Here are a few.
