Course Description

Joyful Math: Empowering Young Minds to Think opens classroom doors to share practical, yet innovative ways to integrate mathematical play throughout the school day. The course focuses on specific strategies, activities and examples of mathematical play within literacy, art, and outdoor explorations. One of the many challenges facing early childhood teachers is how to meet academic standards while creating learning environments that honor young children’s mathematical curiosity. It introduces a set of short whole-group and partner routines designed to engage young children in meaningful math thinking and build problem-solving communities. Through stories, classroom examples, and resources, the course offers the tools to get started right away with math routines. It inspires educators to make space for joy and play in early childhood mathematics, while giving them the tools to make this vision a reality.
