n this module, you will learn about how cultivating self-awareness and self-care can buffer and protect you from long-term adverse effects of chronic, toxic or traumatic stress. Self-awareness and self-care also will allow one to have the restored energy reserves to prevent burnout. These concepts are foundational to trauma-informed work as teachers and caregivers cultivating these practices respond to children's dysregulated behavior with regulation, compassion and trauma-responsive strategies versus reactive and trauma-inducing. It also results in more protective factors for you and more joy in living in the present moment.

Math Outside the Box: Outdoor Math Learning for Ages 0–5

# data[].attributes.body
Young children develop mathematical thinking through movement, exploration, and sensory exploration. Learn how outdoor environments naturally support early math learning through hands-on, inquiry-based experiences aligned with the PTKLF.

Participants will explore developmentally appropriate strategies for supporting number sense, measurement, patterning, spatial awareness, problem solving, and mathematical reasoning with infants, toddlers, and preschoolers. Emphasis will be placed on child-led exploration, open-ended materials, creativity, experimentation, and learning through active discovery using nature, sensory play, loose parts, and outdoor environments.

Through interactive discussions, collaborative activities, and practical planning opportunities, educators will learn how to create meaningful outdoor math invitations that encourage curiosity, investigation, critical thinking, and joyful engagement in learning.

This series includes two interactive workshops.

Participants will leave with:

practical outdoor math ideas

strategies for embedding math into everyday play

intentional math language and questioning techniques

and tools for designing engaging, inquiry-based learning experiences outdoors.

Drawing on current research and California’s early learning foundations, educators and caregivers will practice identifying the learning embedded in children’s play and explore simple documentation strategies that make learning visible.
