He’s published over 130 research studies, authored 23 books on early years mathematics. He’s served on the U.S. President's National Mathematics Advisory Panel and he’s a co-founder of Learningtrajectories.org with his partner Julie Sarama.  Stick around while we dive into why we need to think deeply about early elementary mathematics; how we can help students think conceptually about mathematical ideas at a young age; learn about resources you can use at home to strengthen early years mathematics; and, how parental mindset is key in a student's progression of mathematics.  You’ll Learn:  Why we need to think deeply about early elementary mathematics.  How we can help students think conceptually about mathematical ideas at a young age.  Resources you can use at home to strengthen early years mathematics.  How parental mindset is key in a student's progression of mathematics.  Resources:  http://learningtrajectories.org/  Which One Doesn’t Belong [Book]  Learning and Teaching Early Math [Book]  The Van Hieles Model of Geometric Thinking Full Problem Based Lessons a Units Use our fully developed problem based lessons and units in your classroom to spark curiosity and fuel sense making with your students.
