What do you mean exactly? :) There is a myriad of math programs and curricula available. Just to get you started, if you like hands-on with manipulatives:

RightStart
Miquon
Math-U-See
Shiller Math
Math On The Level
Saxon Math in the early grades
Family Math

These are just off the top of my head. I'm only familiar with Miquon, as I'm going to be teaching this next year and I already own the materials. I'm also getting to know Math on the Level better as I read posts here and participate in its Yahoo! group. I've requested Family Math from the library (it's one book chock-full of math games for real-life learning in the family). Should be here soon. Right now I'm using MCP Math and I like its presentation of topics very much, and will be combining this with Miquon next year.

I have the 1st edition of WTM and My First Math is recommended for PK.
I wanted to see what was recommended in the newest edition.

Thank you

I looked in my copy of TWTM. I'm assuming that you are talking about pre-K. Correct me if I am wrong.

For preschool, just bringing counting and math into everyday life is all that is suggested. There are no actual book recommendations for that level. She recommends counting everything possible and also start counting backwards. It looks like it is just exposure.

By K, she recommends taking it a step further by showing fractions during cooking, playing games to expose color and number matching, doing addition and subtraction with any objects, telling time, going over shapes, and counting to 100. At that point she recommends moving on to Saxon 1. Though if you really wanted a curriculum for the early topics, she recommends Saxon K.

I hope that is what you are looking for. The TWTM book I am using is the 1999 version.
