Early Math Concepts: Playful Approaches to Developing Mathematical Thinking

In this workshop we will explore the important early math concepts of number, pattern, and spatial reasoning. Ideas will be shared about how to develop these math concepts in playful and inclusive ways using a range of materials and approaches. Instructional routines, games, and connections to place and story will be shared as ways to playfully engage young children in mathematical thinking. Please bring a small collection of loose parts (cubes, buttons, coins, etc.) to play along with during the session.
