March 8, 2016
Mathematics with Lisa Ginet of Early Math Collaborative at Erikson Institute
Math is NOT as easy as 1-2-3, but it is a lot more enjoyable! In this interactive session, we will explore some big ideas of early mathematics, how they develop in children, and the role they play in supporting learning in all content areas. Join us to have fun thinking about math and leave with some ideas for how to help young children find the math that is all around us.
