Numeracy as a Living Language:
A Three-Part Webinar Series
Join us for a three-part webinar series (3 × 2 hours) will help you transform the way you experience numeracy. Instead of treating maths as an isolated subject, you’ll explore it as a language of discovery and relationships, woven into children’s play, daily experiences, and meaning-making.
Through observation, intentional use of materials, and documentation, you’ll uncover how mathematical ideas naturally emerge in the classroom. Each session will offer practical tools, inspiring perspectives, and ready-to-use strategies that bring numeracy to life.
What You Will Explore
- Understand how numeracy emerges naturally within children’s everyday experiences, play, and narratives.
- Practise careful observation and learn how to uncover mathematical thinking in the ordinary moments of children’s day-to-day life.
- Experiment with the intentional use of materials to spark curiosity, problem-solving, and pattern-making.
- Use documentation strategies to trace, reflect on, and extend children’s mathematical ideas.
- Gain practical tools and fresh perspectives to bring back to your setting immediately.
Why You Shouldn’t Miss This
- To shift your view of numeracy from content to be covered, into a living, relational language.
- To be inspired by poetic and research-informed practices that connect children and educators in shared meaning-making.
- To expand your professional toolkit with strategies that make mathematics joyful, visible, and deeply connected to children’s worlds.
This series is both a journey for children’s learning and a professional provocation for educators, equipping you with new lenses, tools, and inspiration to transform numeracy into a richer, more lived experience.

Fragments and Wholes: Meaning-Making in the Everyday
🗓️ 27 October 2025 | 🕓 4 PM - 6 PM SGT
Objectives:
- Notice the mathematical possibilities hidden within daily life: shadows, patterns, and collections.
- Explore how environments and natural phenomena can inspire curiosity and mathematical thinking.
- Discover strategies for weaving concepts such as counting, sorting, and measurement into every experience.
Loose Parts: Materials That Think With Us
🗓️ 10 November 2025 | 🕓 4 PM - 6 PM SGT
Objectives:
- Reflect on the potential of discarded materials to invite imagination.
- Explore how the meaning of loose parts shifts depending on how they are collected, offered, and transformed through the hands of children.
- Learn to curate and present materials in ways that inspire experimentation, relationships, and enhance learning.
Narratives of Play: Making Learning Visible
🗓️ 24 November 2025 | 🕓 4 PM - 6 PM SGT
Objectives:
- Through first-hand experiences of either “Fragments and Wholes” or “Loose Parts: Materials that think with us”, we invite you to collect traces of learning through photographs, words from within your context.
- Together, we will reimagine documentation as a living narrative of curiosity, relationships, and growth.
- We will explore and reflect on the strategies used and discover effective ways to communicate learning with both children and adults.
