The Webinar on Teaching How to Count and Group in Preschool took place on Friday, October 1st, 2021 from 12 pm until 1:30 pm, with Oscar Leonardo Pantano, Professor of Mathematics at the Konrad Lorenz University Foundation in Colombia, as our invited speaker. This virtual event was free and open to the general public.
The invited speaker shared a didactic alternative to the teaching-learning of counting, representation and grouping of quantities in math education at the preeschool level. Oscar Leonardo Pantano described how to distinguish between one and many, recognize groups with a greater quantity, assign a more abstract object to a more concrete one, recognize the size of groups by counting, group quantities and make groupings in various levels. The speaker also explained that this didactic alternative forms part of the Natural Learning Method of Mathematics that is being implemented in Colombia.
