National Association for the Education of Young Children Embracing Math: Cultivating a Mindset for
Book SynopsisEnhance your own comfort level with math in order to develop and implement a rich math program through the lens of emergent learning while increasing children’s interest, confidence, and success in mathematics. This book provides a strong pedagogical discussion with relevant, easy-to-implement examples of how to cultivate a learning space for complex exploratory math learning without textbooks or worksheets. Be inspired to reflect upon your curriculum through a mathematical lens and to see the potential for math learning in all aspects of your program. Educators will easily relate to this collection of math-related topics told from the perspective of a teacher who was initially nervous about her ability to teach math to young children and her journey to becoming a more confident teacher of math.Trade ReviewEmbracing Math is a valuable resource to help teachers find and use the math that is all around us in their early childhood classrooms. Not only does it include many specific examples, it also provides a strong conceptual framework about exploring and embedding math through questions, conversations, and inquiries. — Mary Hynes-Berry, Coauthor of Where’s the Math? and Faculty, Erikson Institute and Early Math CollaborativeThis is just the resource I need to bring my math instruction to the next level. My students and I will definitely be exploring, learning, and having fun with math this upcoming school year! — William Breeman, Transitional Kindergarten Teacher, San José Unified School DistrictPecaski McLennan openly acknowledges how her own mathematical identity impacted that of her students. She shows readers that by embracing math and seeing it everywhere, we can provide children with rich opportunities for mathematics teaching and learning. — Toni Galassini, Curriculum and Instruction Specialist, Chicago Public Schools Office of Early Childhood EducationPecaski McLennan draws from many sources of inspiration and includes a wide range of meaningful activities for children’s engagement with mathematics, from interactions with natural objects to the foundations of computer coding. Each chapter includes ways to encourage and leverage children’s natural curiosity by assisting them in making connections to mathematics in the world around them in structured and unstructured ways. This book supports emerging mathematicians in an age-appropriate and effective manner. — Andrew M. Tyminski, Associate Professor of Mathematics Education, Clemson UniversityThis book offers a hands-on, inquiry-based approach to exploring mathematics with young children that integrates mathematics with science, literacy, and art. Pecaski McLennan’s suggestions for engaging in meaningful, story-based precoding activities to support computational thinking, spatial reasoning, and number sense are particularly noteworthy and relevant! — Ashley Lewis Presser, Research Scientist, Education Development CenterMath is everywhere, and the earlier young children see its power in their daily lives, the more likely they are to explore it instead of fear it. This book shows us how to raise our next generation to embrace and excel at math. — Laura Overdeck, Founder and President, Bedtime MathTable of ContentsTable of Contents: Introduction Part 1: Exploring Math with Open-Ended Materials and Strategies Chapter 1: Unexpected Treasure: How Real and Recycled Objects Inspire Thinking and Learning Chapter 2: Ten Fun Activities to Engage Children in Subitizing Chapter 3: Using Children’s Names to Build Number Sense Chapter 4: Playing with Shapes Using Pentominoes Chapter 5: Creating Coding Stories and Games Part 2: Embedding Math in All Areas of the Classroom Chapter 6: Making Math Meaningful for Young Children Chapter 7: Integrated Math in Learning Centers Chapter 8: Connecting Math Concepts with Literacy Experiences Coauthored by Erin Keith Chapter 9: Math Learning—and a Touch of Science—in the Outdoor World Chapter 10: Mathematical Masterpieces: Exploring Math Through Art Chapter 11: Easy Ways to Integrate Math in the Gym and Beyond Part 3: Scaffolding Mathematical Inquiry Chapter 12: Classroom Bird Feeding: Giving Flight to Children’s Imaginations Chapter 13: “Paper Shoes Aren’t for Dancing!” Children’s Explorations of Music and Movement Through Inquiry Coauthored by Jennifer Bombardier Chapter 14: Mitten Measurement: Inspiring Rich Math Inquiry Through Children’s Books Chapter 15: Counting Kindness: How a Food Drive Inspired Rich Mathematical Thinking Appendix: Reproducible Resources for Families References Resources Acknowledgments About the Author

Oro Editions Pressing Matters 9
Book SynopsisThis year Pressing Matters 9 was completely rethought; the aim was to present an Open Source publication that shares the Department of Architecture’s concept of design research, an integral approach of critical thinking, rigorous research, and a deep understanding of the complex layers of architecture. Together with Jonathan Jackson of the renowned design Studio WSDIA in NYC, a more integral design was developed, allowing input from research [ARI labs], students, faculty and Penn’s special events. The content and layout focus on an indepth representation on how in recent years we have integrated expertise and content from our courses into our Design Studio’s. Pressing Matters is an annual design and research compilation from the Department of Architecture at the University of Pennsylvania Stuart Weitzman School of Design, showcasing student work, faculty research, and innovations in pedagogy. The Department launched the one year MSDRAS program this year, directed by Assistant Professor Robert Stuart Smith. The Master of Science in Design: Robotics and Autonomous Systems aims to critically develop novel approaches to the design, manufacturing, construction, use, and lifecycle of architecture through creative engagement with robotics, material systems, and design computation. Students will develop skills in advanced forms of robotic fabrication, simulation, and artificial intelligence, in order to develop methods for design that harness production or live adaptation as a creative opportunity. This is an excellent addition to the existing MSD programs: the MSDEBD directed by Professor Bill Braham and the MSDAAD directed by Professor Ali Rahim, all presented in Pressing Matters 9.
