MATH FOR EARLY LEARNERS, 2nd Session: MAY 20TH
(NOTE: This webinar was originally scheduled for May 13th but is now May 20th)
Dipping into Data Science: Preschool-Grade 1
Data Science is a crucial tool for building critical thinking while reinforcing counting and cardinality. Come and experience ways we can infuse principles of data science into early childhood math explorations and class community building activities.
This webinar is brought to you in partnership between TREC and the Center for Recruitment & Retention of Mathematics Teachers (CRR), thanks to a generous grant from the Helios Education Foundation. This webinar series will will focus on Exploring Mathematics AND Data Science, and includes two sessions, May 6th and May 20th.
Participants can attend one or both days. You must register separately for each day.

Exploring Mathematics in Preschool and Kindergarten:
What does a mathematical exploration look like in preschool. How can our explorations connect to their experiences and interests? How can our explorations help uncover important mathematical concepts through the voices of our students? Come and experience these explorations, and then begin the creation of your own for your students.
