Description: Embracing Math by Deanna Pecaski McLennan Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Gain confidence in your ability to incorporate math into all aspects of your early learning program. Publisher Description NAEYC publishes research-based, peer-reviewed books for early childhood educators. The unifying thread of this collection of math-related topics is that they are told from the perspective of an early childhood education teacher who initially was nervous about her ability to teach math to young children and her journey to becoming a more confident teacher of math. The heart of this book very much focuses on helping teachers feel less intimidated by the concept of teaching math so that they can in turn make children feel less intimidated and even excited to learn math. Each article offers insight into some way the author taps into the funds of knowledge that the children bring to the classroom and that she herself brings and how to look at those collective skills and experiences through a math lens. Readers can see a teacher joyfully embracing math as she develops math learning activities that address important math concepts and also connect to many other subject areas (outdoor play, the arts, nature, coding). She shows how she has engaged in her own math learning journey along with the children. Author Biography Deanna Pecaski McLennan , PhD, is a passionate early childhood educator, researcher, and writer from Amherstburg, Ontario, Canada, who has spent over 20 years working with young children. She is the recipient of the 2020 Prime Minister Award for Excellence in Teaching STEM, highest award in Canadian education.As a teacher in Ontarios full-day kindergarten program (equivalent to US prekindergarten) and a university instructor, she devotes her research and practice to exploring the potential for rich mathematics learning through playful inquiry and exploration. She appreciates looking at life through a mathematical lens and recognizes opportunities for authentic, complex engagement in all experiences children have. She is a passionate advocate who feels deeply that the investments we make in the lives of young children benefit our society tremendously over time.Deanna is also a mom to three children and knows firsthand the importance of supporting and improving their confidence, fluency, and accuracy in mathematics. She considers herself a lifelong learner and has spent the last several years transforming her classroom into a safe, supportive space where children can take risks without the use of rigid programming, rote practice, or worksheets. Deanna believes that educators benefit from sharing their journeys with one another and actively uses reflective writing, technology, and social media to connect with others from around the world. Part of her journey has involved writing extensively for NAEYC and publishing articles in the organizations magazine, Teaching Young Children, and peer-reviewed journal, Young Children. Deanna uses her writing and large social media following to provoke conversations about the role math plays in emergent programs and how educators can cultivate childrens mathematical mindset while still honoring their interests, strengths, and needs.
