Description
Early Mathematical Experiences is the most recent publication by Dr Paul Swan. It is designed for teachers working with 4 - 6 year old children. It includes a variety of ‘play-based’ experiences that lay the foundation for learning mathematics. During this workshop we will focus on how best to utilise this resource in the classroom at a practical level. Links from the book will be made with manipulatives, technology, picture books, language and other mathematical experiences. Each participant will receive their own personal copy to take home.
Workshop is aimed for Kindergarten and Pre-Primary Teachers.
