Being and Becoming Mathematicians Through Play
|
|
In this book, the Educators take a maths lens and make visible for us the wonderfully enjoyable and rich process of young children being and becoming mathematicians.
Throughout the pages of this book, the children demonstrate how they engage in mathematical learning. In their everyday play and interactions, they experience and explore their world developing and growing their mathematical understanding. Page after page the power of play in a child's life is made visible.

Course of the week - Manager's course
|
Did you know that by becoming an administrator on the Learning Hub you can view the progress of employees as they progress through the Skills Programmes? Have you considered how much time you want staff to spend doing training on the Learning Hub and what skills you want each employee to focus on? Do you know how to assign courses to each employee?
The Welcome to Managers course on Early Childhood Ireland’s Learning Hub will show you how to get the most out of this incredible member benefit. The course is short and can be accessed and repeated by managers at any time. This gives managers the ability to assign courses, track learning and provide key insights for discussion with employees during support and supervision.
Please note that manager access will be cross-referenced to the primary contact on the Early Childhood Ireland membership.
If you haven’t registered yet, you can log in here. If you are registered, you can access the course at the link below.
