Next Generation Preschool Math
- 2. Next Generation Preschool Math is a research-based exploration into early math education and technology.
- 3. We are creating eight iPad games and dozens of non-digital activities to teach and reinforce two math concepts - subitizing and equipartitioning.
- 4. Subitizing is identifying the number of items in a group without counting. In Birthday Café, children serve diners as platters pass by.
- 5. Equipartitioning is dividing a whole or a collection of items equally. In Breakfast Time, children share breakfast foods equally among plates.
- 6. Several of the games are collaborative. In Photo Friends, children take pictures of each other and work together to share items equally.
- 7. Cutting-edge technology allows teachers to monitor students’ progress through an interactive teacher’s guide.
- 8. The NGPM curriculum also includes dozens of non-digital activities that extend the math learning and promote collaborative play.
- 9. Hand-selected picture books integrate literacy and math learning while reinforcing concepts from the digital games.
- 10. Snack time activities infuse math into everyday routines.
- 11. Outdoor activities incorporate motion and physical activity into the math learning.
- 12. Our game designers and researchers make frequent visits to preschools to test every activity with children.
- 13. We work with fantastic teachers who help us understand what children need.
- 14. And we know we’re on the right track because we see countless moments of wonder.

Editor's Notes
- Next Generation Preschool Math is a research-based exploration into early math education and technology.
- We are creating and testing eight iPad games and dozens of non-digital activities to teach and reinforce two math concepts - subitizing and equipartitioning.
- Subitizing is being able to identify the number of items in a group without counting. In Birthday Café, children serve diners as platters pass by on a conveyor belt.
- Equipartitioning, or fair sharing is dividing a whole or a collection of items equally. In Breakfast Time, children equipartition by sharing breakfast foods equally among plates.
- Several of the games are collaborative and meant to be played in pairs. 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.
- In addition to the digital games, the NGPM curriculum 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.
