Region 9 - Preschool Transitional Kindergarten Learning Foundations - Mathematics - In Person

Children are born with a natural curiosity and capacity for exploring mathematical concepts. In the early years, they engage with ideas such as quantity, shape, and size through interactions with adults and their environment. They also begin to develop foundational skills by counting, sorting, ordering, collecting data, and thinking spatially. Early math experiences are among the strongest predictors of later academic success. The concepts and skills children build during this time lay the groundwork for future learning in mathematics throughout the elementary years.

Learning Outcomes:

• Review the PTKLF Mathematics domain for children aged three to five-and-a-half years.
• Discuss how all children come with diverse mathematical experiences.
• Recognize the PTKLF Mathematical Practices.
