Early Math: Teaching and Learning

In this Overview Module, you will find big ideas about early childhood math and important overview resources that can be used in settings for prospective and practicing teachers.

Resources

Modules

Resources designed to help prospective and practicing teachers of young children develop learning opportunities that are intentional, developmentally appropriate, engaging, and playful.

Counting

The deceptively simple act of counting, and developing children’s number sense.

Spatial Relations

Early learning of geometric ideas, and how things are related in space.

Operations

Young children reason about the four operations (yes, even multiplication and division!).

Patterns & Algebra

Making sense of and describing patterns paves the way for early algebraic reasoning.

Measurement & Data

Is it longer? Heavier? How can we figure this out? Building from children's ideas about measurement & data.

Overview

These overview resources provide background and span the content of our other modules.
