Professor Herb Ginsburg: Maths Storybook Workshop

In this webinar, Professor Herb Ginsburg discusses how we can help children to learn maths creatively and enjoyably with carefully-selected picture books. 

He explores the research behind the approach and considers how we might engage parents and carers in supporting their children’s early learning.

Professor Ginsburg has supported our work at East London Research School in this area. You can read more about our thinking in this short blog by Fliss James. 

If you’re interested in the tech behind those videos of mom and Danny, researcher Dr Colleen Uscianowski comments:

I do like those videos and I was pleasantly surprised at how well most of the videos turned out, considering that they were recorded remotely. Recording them was very easy and involved just 2 tools: Qualtrics and Zoom. I created a Qualtrics survey and uploaded PDFs of the storybooks into Qualtrics. Then I met with each parent-child dyad on Zoom and shared a link to the Qualtrics survey. I recorded the Zoom screen as the parent and child opened the PDFs on their computer screen and read directly off their screen.”

Colleen is Assistant Professor at the School of Education at the University of Cincinnati
