Early Childhood Mathematics Workshop: Building Joyful Foundations

Transform your early childhood math instruction through this dynamic three-day workshop where playful yet purposeful teaching creates lasting mathematical understanding. Journey through essential topics including number sense development, geometry exploration, and operation structures—all through hands-on math activities that bring joy to the learning experience. Our approach honors how young children naturally learn mathematics while differentiating instruction to meet the needs of all learners. From creating engaging classroom environments to understanding learning trajectories, you’ll discover practical strategies that lay critical foundations for mathematics. Each day builds upon the previous, weaving together concrete experiences, thoughtful representations, and meaningful assessment techniques that inform your teaching decisions. Through purposeful play and exploration, learn not just what to teach, but why and when to introduce concepts for maximum impact in your early childhood classroom.

Discover what educators are saying about their experiences with Mathodology workshops and teaching resources.

All activities throughout the three-day program are drawn from our Developing Roots curriculum, designed specifically for Kindergarten and Pre-Kindergarten early childhood mathematics.

What Others Are Saying About Our Training

Those two days were fantastic. When you come, you bring an energy that is contagious for all of our teachers. After going through the pandemic, I thought we needed a little spark in math, and you definitely gave it to us. You don't waste a minute and are so devoted to whatever we ask you to do. It was really fun to hear the impressions of those teachers who had never met you before. They were truly wowed and so excited about enhancing their teaching. You are one talented educator, Sarah, and we are so fortunate our paths have crossed.

Mark

The true passion Sarah delivers makes my teacher's heart sing! It is so helpful to hear honesty so freely. I feel so inspired after spending valuable time practicing as a teacher and student. I am motivated by the classroom setup to run back home and make my classroom that is engaging for my students. Thank you!

Cathleen

Having done many of the lessons this year, I appreciated learning the "why" behind them. Knowing the research and process that went into the curriculum gives me a foundation for going forward.

Porter

Never before have I attended such an excellent conference! Early childhood mathematics is complex. The creators of Developing Roots have developed a program that adds logistics and practicality to mathematical theory in a way that incorporates best practices and most importantly, in a way that is meaningful to young children. It is heavily researched, tested, and teach-approved. Even so, Sarah & Cheri realize the work is never finished and they’re happy to work with teachers as they work for teachers.

Danyelle

Sarah presented tasks that made us think. Through these tasks, administrators, teachers, and paraprofessionals engaged in the productive struggle that our students will endure each day when using this incredible resource. She continuously reminded us of the importance of helping our students remember that this uncomfortable feeling means that their brains are growing.

Michelle

The energy with both campuses was extremely positive and their feedback was equally encouraging. Donna was masterful at modeling routines and stressing the importance of looking towards big ideas and using appropriate math language. I also appreciated the way Donna spoke about integrating math into your day and not just in math class. Explaining the reason this program works and how it changes the way kids think through play. Also suggesting ways to extend activities and having us participate in the activities. I am so excited to teach this program next year.
