Why is early childhood math important? And how can parents and teachers use research-backed, and play-based practices to encourage math learning?

On this episode of School’s In, we welcome Stanford Graduate School of Education (GSE) Professor Emerita Deborah Stipek to discuss why learning and practicing math is important for young children. We also touch on ways to engage young children in playful math and how parents can incorporate learning at home. Stipek covers several topics, including:

  • 03:00 Early math as a predictor of academic achievement
  • 07:09 Math anxiety: Overcoming barriers and making math fun
  • 13:44 Everyday playful math for families
  • 18:07 Transitional kindergarten and teacher preparation in early math
  • 25:39 Early math resources for parents, caregivers, teachers, and teacher educators

Deborah Stipek is the chair of the Development and Research in Early Mathematics Education (DREME) Network, where she works with scholars and researchers to advance math learning and skill development for young children. She is also a professor emerita and former dean at the GSE, where her research focused on early childhood and elementary education, especially as it relates to math and motivation.
