1) The document discusses a presentation on using games and "math talk" to develop early math concepts in preschoolers.
2) Research shows that certain math games like linear board games and subitizing games can help children develop important math skills like number sense.
3) Engaging children in spatial training through activities with blocks and puzzles and using spatial language can also benefit math development.
4) Teacher "math talk" that incorporates counting, shapes, comparisons, and other math concepts is linked to growth in preschoolers' math knowledge.

Early childhood education is gaining ground with state and national calls for universal PreK, early literacy & language initiatives, etc. But do you know about the importance of early math? Research shows that early math skills are most predictive of later achievement, and yet low SES students often start school 6-18 months behind. How can preschoolers play with early math concepts through hands-on and electronic games to build their school readiness skills? Learn about some of the interesting educational research and interventions that are boosting young children's beginning number sense, spatial thinking, and algebraic reasoning.

David Smith: Praxis - A step forward in learning games
http://youtu.be/CppIYs5i948
Praxis is an educational adventure game with RPG elements. The game aims to assist with learning science whilst analysing student actions to create a picture of how well they understand certain concepts. In this presentation David will discuss the processes that we went through in developing the game, how making a game educational differs from making a non-educational game, the common pitfalls (the majority of which we managed to avoid), and how integrating information allows for improvement of the game experience in addition to changed teacher practice.

Maidan Summit 2011 - Saroj Yadav, National Council of Educational Research an...Maidan.in
In her presentation at Maidan Summit 2011, Ms Saroj Yadav said that health is the most important for a child. Highlighting that health education covers everything like physical, emotional and mental education, she said that it is about changing the mindset. She said that the schools must realize the importance of physical education in the form of games, activities and sport.
She also added that the health concerns include not only physical activities but also social issues like drug abuse, HIV protection and food and inflation. She concluded by saying that the development of physical education has to work in synergy with food and nutrition, social health, safety and security.
Language art for preschoolers will help your child build academic and literacy skills. Your child can develop oral language, vocabulary, listening skills, social skills, writing skills, phonic and many more. http://imagination-ccg.com/
In preschools, kids will learn many things with their own skills and several objects in preschool, which helps them to learn math, science, social studies etc. Here we discuss the things kids will learn and how. For more information, visit: www.nicholasmontessorischool.com
Next Generation Preschool Math is a research-based exploration into early math education and technology. We are creating and testing eight iPad games and dozens of non-digital activities to teach and reinforce two math concepts - subitizing and equipartitioning. Take a look to learn more!

Connect with Maths Early Years Learning in Mathematics Webinar series - Mathematical Thinking in the Early Years ( Part 2) Supporting children as mindful mathematicians presented by Louise Hodgson.
This presentation is focused on key mathematical processes - problem solving, reasoning and proof, communication and connections and habits of mind such as curiosity, imagination and persistence which together are as important as mathematical content in a high quality early childhood mathematics program. Practical strategies will be discussed to support young children to develop reasoning which is central to learning about mathematics.
Our fun math games and activities to play in the classroom for high school students are engaging math activities to inspire and motivate your students.
Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

predictive, and possibly more predictive, of later
academic success than early literacy skills.
And yet most preschool classrooms devote much
more time to literacy than to math.

13. NCTM & NAEYC Joint Position
Statement Recommendations
4) Use curriculum and teaching practices that strengthen
children's problem solving and reasoning processes
as well as representing, communicating,
and connecting math ideas
6) Provide for children's deep and sustained interaction
with key mathematical ideas
8) Provide ample time, materials, and teacher support for
children to engage in play, a context in which they explore
and manipulate mathematical ideas with keen interest
14. Why Early Math Games?
Early math isn't about worksheets or flashcards.
It is seeing patterns in the world, playing games,
building with blocks, and 'talking math'.
15. Why Early Math Games?
Math games are fun and effective!
Researchers found that the more board games
children played, the better they performed on
various early math tasks.

(linear race game, subitizing & ANS,
spatial training, or your own idea!)
* Write out 3 possible 'math talk' questions
you could ask or sentences you could say
with your children
