Developing Math Joy and Identity Through Literature

December 14, 2022 @ 3:00 pm - 4:30 pm
In this Special Webinar, a part of the Early Math+Early Literacy series, panelists dive into children’s books that make readers think about math in a whole new way! Attendees become a “student for a day” as they immerse themselves in a wide range of read-alouds and hands-on activities.

Listen in as panelists discuss and explore books from the Mathical Book Prize list — and beyond — in the company of authors, educators and early childhood experts. Mathical aims to inspire children of all backgrounds, ages and interests to develop a love and appreciation of the math in the world around them.

Watch the recording and enjoy being introduced to diverse activities and resources through demos, show and tell, and other “seed planting” strategies. You can return later at your leisure and explore more deeply with the expansive resource list we will provide.
