Early math learning is crucial for children's future academic success. The latest Big Ten Early Learning Alliance brief, authored by Dr. David Purpura and Patrick Ehrman from Purdue University, explores state early learning standards in mathematics across the 14 states with Big Ten universities.
Additionally, the Alliance is hosting a webinar on Wednesday, March 12, at noon, providing a multi-level view of early math learning. This webinar will cover the overarching early math standards in Big Ten states, assessing math learning in the classroom and at home, and the brain science behind numerical development. Experts Dr. David Purpura (Purdue University), Dr. Kristen Missall (University of Washington), and Dr. Ece Demir-Lira (University of Iowa) will share their insights in this flash-talk-style event.

The Big Ten Early Learning Alliance brings together early childhood experts at the nation's Big Ten universities to advance their mission of expansion of preschool programs and implementation of home-visiting programs, which must be grounded in the current best scientific evidence to achieve their full potential and to support all young children and their families and caregivers equitably.
