ORIGO Education Presents Early Geometry Concepts: Making Connections to the Real World, Sept. 28 on edWeb.net
Jessica Bobo, a leading mathematics specialist, will present the free edWebinar as part of ORIGO Education’s Mathematics for Young Learners series targeted for PreK-6 grade math teachers.
ST. CHARLES, Mo.– Capitalizing on a world full of objects and shapes, ORIGO Education introduces geometry in an easy-to-understand method applicable to early childhood learning. The edWebinar, Early Geometry Concepts: Making Connections to the Real World will stream live on edWeb.net, Thursday September 28, 2017 at 4 p.m. EDT. Jessica Bobo, early childhood mathematics specialist and ORIGO Stepping Stones PreK lead author, will demonstrate how young learners may use the environment around them to learn about space and shapes, which create the building blocks needed for grasping basic geometry concepts. Register here or watch the archived webinar at any time.
Bobo will explain how students as early as PreK develop knowledge by exploring four primary avenues: movement in space, location and direction, three-dimensional objects and two-dimensional shapes. “The takeaway for educators is how to create a connection with common everyday objects to teach positional and directional language and recognizing 2D and 3D shapes,” said Bobo.
Early Geometry Concepts: Making Connections to the Real World is the fifth in the series of free, live stream videos posted on edWeb.net, a popular web community for professional development and networking among PreK-12 and post-secondary educators.
