Measuring Math

Measuring Math

A Chicago-area research opportunity for the 2021-2022 school year!

We are looking for preschool teachers in the greater Chicago area who are willing to share their early math teaching with researchers. Erikson’s Early Math Collaborative and SRI Education were awarded federal funding to conduct a research study examining interactions between teachers and children around math in early childhood.

This research will take place during the 2021-2022 school year. Please sign up to receive more information at the bottom of this page. We will reach out to interested teachers in the Spring and Summer of 2021.

For participating teachers:

  • Allow videographers to record teachers and children working around math once in fall 2021* and twice in spring 2022* (including set-up, about 30 minutes per session).
  • Complete a brief online survey in fall of 2021* and spring of 2022* (about 30 minutes each time).

For participating children:

  • Work one-on-one with a researcher in fall of 2021* and spring 2022* (about 30 minutes each time).
