Counting and Cardinality

The Counting and Cardinality module helps participants understand what children must learn in order to

learn the counting sequence and understand the quantity associated with each number. Subitizing, which

helps children know quantity without counting it, can begin with small numbers. Comparing quantities

creates a later need for operation. Participants will explore each of these topics by doing hands-on

activities associated with each.

Operations and Algebraic Thinking

Participants understand how children connect different meanings, interpretations and relationships with

the operations of addition and subtraction in the Operations and Algebraic Thinking module. Participants

will develop a deeper understanding of how children progress in their algebraic understanding along a

learning trajectory through an immersion into the Learning Pathways of Numeracy. Through interactive,

hands on activities, participants will have resources that can be replicated in the classroom to develop a

child’s early algebraic thinking.

Geometry

Through the geometry module, participants will explore the Early Learning Pathways for Geometry and

develop a deeper knowledge of how children progress in their understanding of geometry and spatial

sense. Participants will engage in hands on activities that can be easily replicated in the classroom to

further develop students' understanding of geometric concepts. Handouts of ideas,

activities and resources will be provided.
