International Symposium
on Early Mathematics Education

The Early Mathematics Education Project, supported by the McCormick Foundation, held international symposia in 2009 and 2010. The two events brought experts from around the world to share approaches to early mathematics education with teachers, administrators, policy-makers, and other education professionals. The goal was to generate globally-informed ideas and recommendations for improving math instruction in the early childhood classroom. In breakout discussions and plenary sessions, participants brainstormed ideas, identified issues, and recommended actions.

The findings from both events will be summarized in a policy brief. Stay tuned for details concerning publication of the policy brief and events associated with it.
