Erikson’s Early Mathematics Education Project aims to improve the quality of early math education and ensure that young children are introduced to foundational mathematics.

The project provides professional development to nearly 100 CPS preschool teachers and kindergarten teachers each year. In a series of all-day workshops, these teachers bolster their math knowledge and confidence in their ability to teach it in fun, engaging, developmentally appropriate ways.

Professor Jie-Qi Chen is the principle investigator of the Early Mathematics Project; Jennifer McCray, Ph.D. ’08, is project director.

This project is supported through generous grants from the McCormick Foundation and the CME Group Foundation.
