Play Skillfully

In this conversation, Kathy Eggers and Keri Vasek explore the often negative perceptions surrounding math education. They discuss how math can be viewed as a puzzle and emphasize the importance of teaching math through play and real-life applications. The conversation highlights the significance of a positive attitude towards math, the role of readiness in learning, and the need for parents to model a healthy relationship with math. They also touch on the importance of incorporating math into daily life and the balance between teaching and self-care for parents. Finally, they address the concept of being 'behind' in math and how comparison can affect children's learning experiences.
