Early Math Learning Series 4EM@UCLA
What is this webinar series about?
Our free 60-minute webinars feature newly captured classroom videos that highlight rich mathematical interactions among children—both with and without a teacher present—across playful learning spaces. We focus specifically on supporting the mathematical development of 4-year-olds and connecting our work to California’s new foundations and assessment documents, though many will find the ideas we share support coherent math learning experiences across P–3. We welcome teachers and teacher educators to join us on Zoom as we dive into the complexity of listening and responding to children’s mathematical ideas and invite you to make connections to your own practice.
Who are we?
We are a team of university-based researchers and teacher educators funded by the Heising-Simons Foundation to build and sustain early math professional learning in California. We draw upon our expertise of leveraging children’s mathematical thinking to collaborate with communities of teachers and teacher educators to support deep mathematical learning and engagement across P-3.
