Lively, fun math instruction for grades K–5 from author Gigi Carunungan
DESCRIPTION
Of the many issues facing math educators today, making math accessible to young learners is especially challenging. In a new book, Teaching Math Through Storytelling: How to Design Engaging Lessons for the Elementary Classroom ⎋ (Teachers College Press, 2025), learning designer Gigi Carunungan gives K–5 teachers a hands-on method for teaching math with fun stories that allow their students to experience math concepts in real-world contexts.
In a free webinar that draws on the methodology of her book, Carunungan will teach attendees how to use engaging, interactive storytelling to help their young learners develop a deeper understanding of mathematical principles. Participants will learn to create and deploy creative, lively simulations that make math concepts come alive, receive guidance for incorporating intercultural scenarios and stories to foster inclusivity, and explore teaching strategies and lesson designs grounded in the latest research. Carnunungan will demonstrate how to transform traditional math teaching into an approach that enhances critical thinking and problem-solving skills—and which can be integrated into existing curricula—allowing teachers to move away from memorization and rote activities and into dynamic learning experiences that make math fun!
This webinar is for elementary school teachers, math instructional coaches, administrators, parents, teacher educators, and all who wish to understand how to make math more accessible to young learners.
