Full title: Math, Play & Digital Tools: How can we foster a love of mathematics in the early years
In this webinar, participants will explore and share how they have used games to engage learners in mathematical thinking. Learning through play and exploration has long been a part of the classroom. How can we use online tools or apps to help learners build fluency and consolidate learning goals introduced in the classroom? How can learners demonstrate their learning by creating their own games with digital tools? By the end of the webinar, participants will have strategies to bring back to their classroom, including a list of free tools & apps to get started.
