Virtual Event: Nurturing Problem Solvers:
Supporting Early Math Skills in a Toddler/Preschool Setting
November 30th, 2:00-3:00 PM ET
Research tells us that early math skills are a powerful predictor of overall school achievement. But what does “early math” look like for toddlers and young preschoolers? It looks like Problem Solvers. Join Rebecca Parlakian and Jie-Qi Chen as they share ways you can bring playful learning to your toddler/preschool program. Explore early numeracy activities that spark curiosity, joy, and mastery across six math domains, and discover how equity principles are a key part of early math instruction.
As a result of attending this webinar, learners will be able to:
- Define the sub-domains of early math learning.
- Explain how principles of equity can be embedded into early math instruction.
- Describe play-based experiences that support and nurture early math development for toddlers/preschoolers
