Amazing Math in Action: How to Foster the Joy of Everyday Early Math Learning

Description:

A dynamic new book, Young Children's Amazing Math: A Guide to Understanding and Supporting Early Learning (Teachers College Press, 2025), focuses on what adults can do to foster the joy of early math learning. Grounded in current research, the book shows teachers and caregivers working with children ages 9 months to 6 years how math is embedded in children's everyday lives, and how daily routines contribute to the development of important math concepts.

This September, join author Herbert P. Ginsburg for a free conversation on early math learning. Ginsburg will describe the development of children's informal ideas about number, shape, space, pattern, and measurement, as well as specific activities designed to promote learning. To depict these concepts and strategies, he will share short video examples of how children engage in spontaneous math or talk with an adult about their thinking. The book includes over 75 such video examples. Fascinating and often funny, they will help attendees understand the child's everyday math so they can support meaningful math education in their programs, at home, or at school.

This webinar is for teacher educators, pre- and inservice early childhood educators, providers working in day care and Head Start settings, curriculum supervisors, and professional developers.
