Presented by Dr. Julie Nurnberger-Haag, Assistant Professor, Mathematics Education from Kent State University. We'll focus on early number concepts and skills as well as early geometry.
Arrive prepared to move manipulatives and yourself to experience early math in ways that young children love to learn it. We'll focus on early number concepts and skills (e.g. counting, subitizing, numeral recognition, adding and subtracting) as well as early geometry. We'll discuss common ideas and ways children develop these ideas including sources of inaccurate information so that we can better interpret ideas children bring to our classes, as well as better critique the resources in our classrooms.
