Description
This online workshop intentionally interweaves material from 1st, 2nd, and 3rd grade, and is designed so that participants work with and understand aspects of teaching math in these grades. You will be “doing math” through exercises in the workshop. We provide all participants with free downloads.

- Core Principles for Teaching Math
- Waldorf Terminology and the Temperaments
- The Developmental Picture of the Child

We recommend you refer to our book, Making Math Meaningful™ : A Sourcebook for Teaching Math in Grades 1-5, although you can take this workshop without it.
The workshop is co-presented by Jamie York and Amy Lloyd Rippe.
Amy Lloyd-Rippe was a class teacher at the Meadowbrook Waldorf School in Rhode Island for 18 years. She continues as a faculty mentor, as well as a Board member and Human Resource committee member.
