Serie: About the Collaborative
Una carta de la directora
¡Hola!
We have exciting news to share: the Early Mathematics Education Project at Erikson Institute is now the Early Math Collaborative. Our new name illustrates Erikson’s ongoing commitment to supporting high-quality math education for young children—math education that is practical, rigorous, inclusive, culturally-aware, and developmentally appropriate.
And of course, we have a new website! The goal of this growing site is to become a thoughtful archive of all things early math… from video of children explaining their math thinking, to our own articles about best practices, to links to external resources. And when possible, everything is categorized according to our own foundational math concepts and Big Ideas, as well as the Common Core State Standards; so if you want to, you can search by “shape” or “number composition” to see what we have. On the site, we always strive to give things context and explain why we think they are important.
What do you think? We would love to hear your thoughts about the site in the comments section below. It’s still in testing and we hope to add additional features over the coming weeks, so we are eager for feedback as we continue this journey online.
Y por favor, vuelva pronto. No sólo tenemos la intención de añadir contenidos y recursos adicionales con frecuencia, sino que también esperamos crear debates continuos en torno al tema que nos preocupa: la mejora de la educación matemática en los primeros años.
Gracias por su visita.
