"¡Vamos A Jugar Juntos!": como los juegos de mesa invitan a TODOS los niños y sus familias a activar el pensamiento matemático

Construir ideas matemáticas fundamentales a través de la participación familiar puede apoyar poderosamente el desarrollo matemático de los niños pequeños. En esta sesión, jugamos juegos de matemáticas y discutimos cómo usarlos para desarrollar y evaluar el sentido numérico de los niños e involucrar a las familias. Los participantes obtienen ideas prácticas para aumentar el acceso/compromiso con las matemáticas para los niños y sus familias.
