Mathematics plays a key role in a child’s development. Young children are naturally curious, noticing differences in the quantity and shape of objects, and use early mathematical concepts when they play. Developing early mathematical understanding is important for children’s later success at school and in their lives more broadly.

This webinar discusses maths in the early years (for ages 3 – 7) and highlights fun and easy ways for you to incorporate maths activities and experiences into the day.

During the webinar, we explore:

• The latest international and Australian evidence and recommendations from E4L’s Guidance Report on early mathematics 
• Reflections and examples from Australian academics and educators about how to put the recommendations into action 
• Practical, evidence-informed strategies such as using games, songs, puzzles and stories to develop maths language and concepts.

You’ll hear from:

• Professor Marina Papic, Australian Catholic University 
• James Ellis, Lead Teacher in a Birth to Year 6 setting in South Australia 
• Juanita Milne, Kindergarten Teacher at Goodstart Early Learning (Annandale Yolanda Drive)
