Catalyzing Change in Early Childhood and Elementary Mathematics: Initiating Critical Conversations recognizes that the strengths and needs of young children must be considered when addressing the continuity and alignment of mathematics education for this student group. It also identifies and addresses the critical conversations necessary to meet the following critical challenges: broadening the purpose of school mathematics to prioritize development of deep conceptual understanding so that children experience joy and confidence in themselves as emerging mathematicians; dismantling structural obstacles that impede mathematics working for each student; implementing equitable instructional practices to cultivate students' positive mathematical identities; organizing mathematics along a common shared pathway grounded in the use of mathematical practices and processes to coherently develop a strong foundation of deep mathematical understanding for each and every child Read Catalyzing Change in Early Childhood and Elementary Mathematics and find out why the status quo is unacceptable, what actions you can take to change it, and how to make a difference! Be a part of the bright future of mathematics teaching and learning.
