Numeracy as a Living Language - A Three-Part Webinar Series

In collaboration with Reggio Emilia Asia for Children (REACH), an International Member of Reggio Children based in Singapore, we are pleased to offer an online professional development designed for teachers of students in years 1 and 2 in primary schools.
This three-part webinar series (3 sessions of 2 hours each) will help you transform the way you experience numeracy. Rather than treating mathematics as an isolated subject, you will explore it as a language with its own grammar, rhythm, and infinite possibilities, encountered through discovery, relationships, and meaning-making.
Dates: 4th, 11th and 18th March 2026 - Wednesdays 3.15 – 5.15pm
Estimated Cost: $275.00 NZD
