Make Believe with Math: Free Course for ECE Educators from Sesame Workshop

Foundational math skills are built from interactions between young children and trusted adults. The everyday objects in our early learning spaces, including dramatic play areas, provide wonderful opportunities for early math discovery.  Sesame Workshop is now offering a free, online course about math and dramatic play for early childhood educators.

• Math in pretend play

• Creating more math learning moments
• Fun, ready-to-use activities.
