I've been facilitating many trainings on play and inquiry-based approaches to mathematics in the early years recently. Here are a few resources that I've learned a lot from:
And then Christine Chaille's book "Integrating Math and Science in Early Childhood Classrooms Through Big Ideas" is an awesome place to start for constructivist math education in the early years.
I've been facilitating many trainings on play and inquiry-based approaches to mathematics in the early years recently. Here are a few resources that I've learned a lot from:
"Rehumanizing Mathematics" and the work of Dr. Rochelle Gutiérrez. This is a wonderful big picture framework centering racial equity and culturally sustaining practice in math educacation. This podcast interview is a great place to start: https://www.abolitionsci.org/home/2018/12/11/rehumanizing-math-and-science-with-dr-rochelle-gutierrez
For inspiring and thought-provoking everyday examples of amazing inquiry-based mathematics practice in the early years, (recently retired!) Janice Novakowksi and colleagues at B.C. Reggio-Inspired Mathematics are super rad. Here's her link tree: https://linktr.ee/JaniceNovakowski?utm_source=ig&utm_medium=social&utm_content=link_in_bio

Thanks so much for these resources, Stephen! I'm excited to dig in and check them out. -C
