Let’s Count Professional Development
In the Let’s Count Online professional development you will be able to build on what you already know of children’s mathematics learning, and supporting and encouraging parents and families to promote this learning using Let’s Count, notice, explore and talk about mathematics.
Let’s Count is based on the principle that children are more likely to have positive experiences of mathematics during their early years if their educators, parents and other family members also have positive dispositions towards mathematics. It’s underpinned by:
• The use of play, discussion and investigation as its key pedagogical approach
• Strong partnerships between early childhood educators and families
• The recognition that all children, parents/carers and educators can be powerful mathematicians
• A realisation that mathematics learning can be enjoyable for all, when it is undertaken in a relevant and meaningful context
