Description

Fred Rogers said, "Play is often talked about as if it were a relief from serious learning. But for children, play is serious learning. Play is really the work of childhood." How can we bring more play into the early childhood math classroom (K-2)? In this session, you'll learn strategies to make learning math more playful and engaging while still using your current math curriculum and ensuring that serious learning is taking place.
