Next Generation Preschool Math

Next Generation Preschool Math is a research-based exploration into early math education and

technology.

We are creating eight iPad games and dozens of non-digital activities to teach and reinforce two math

concepts - subitizing and equipartitioning.

Subitizing is identifying the number of items in a group without counting. In Birthday Café, children

serve diners as platters pass by.

Equipartitioning is dividing a whole or a collection of items equally. In Breakfast Time, children share

breakfast foods equally among plates.

Several of the games are collaborative. In Photo Friends, children take pictures of each other and work

together to share items equally.

Cutting-edge technology allows teachers to monitor students’ progress through an

interactive teacher’s guide.

The NGPM curriculum also includes dozens of non-digital activities that extend the math learning and

promote collaborative play.

Hand-selected picture books integrate literacy and math learning while reinforcing concepts from the

digital games.

Snack time activities infuse math into everyday routines.

Outdoor activities incorporate motion and physical activity into the math learning.

Our game designers and researchers make frequent visits to preschools to test every

activity with children.

We work with fantastic teachers who help us understand what children need.

And we know we’re on the right track because we see countless moments of wonder.
