Children, from the day they were born, are mathematicians.

Discover the ways in which toddlers process information and learn the methods to foster the development of their mathematical mind.

Children, from the day that they’re born, are mathematicians. Toddlers have the ability to understand concrete forms of math long before counting and traditional mathematical symbols are introduced. Join us as we focus on the unique ways in which toddlers process information and methods that we can use to assist small children in the development of their mathematical mind. This seminar is free and open to the public. Participants must register in advance. With the exception of newborns (so that you may fully enjoy this seminar) this event is appropriate for adults only.

Seminar Duration: 2 hours
Open to the Public
