Exploring Numeracy in the Early Years (Pre-K to Grade 2)

Workshop Overview

How can we help young children grow as confident mathematical thinkers while keeping play, joy, and curiosity at the center of learning?

This workshop explores how numeracy emerges through everyday experiences, playful inquiry, and connections to the real world. Educators will reflect on the essential building blocks of early mathematics—such as number sense, patterns, measurement, and spatial reasoning—and consider how to balance foundational skills with opportunities for exploration and meaning-making.

Across three sessions, participants will:

  • Build a deeper understanding of how numeracy develops in the early years.
  • Explore strategies for designing playful, real-world, and engaging math experiences.
  • Reflect on ways to make children’s mathematical thinking visible.
  • Leave with practical tools and classroom-ready ideas to support confident, joyful learners.

    *Our workshops are based on the principles of ‘flipped classroom’ and are a combination of synchronous (live teaching through Zoom) learning and asynchronous (pre-reading and home learning) learning. Pre-reading and home learning in between sessions forms the basis of the live session where we explore the workshop material in depth through learning engagements and discussions.*
