Playful Early Math Learning in Pediatric Clinics

This playbook resulted from a collaboration between Brookside Community Health Center, MathTalk, and DREME researchers working together to bring playful math into the  Brookside pediatric clinic  in Boston, MA.

Our goals were to:

  • make the clinic aesthetically pleasing and easier for families to find their way around,
  • promote joyful math conversations among children, caregivers, and pediatric providers, and
  • provide stimuli that help clinicians assess developmental skills.

This playbook can help pediatric providers and health clinic administrators build their own playful early math learning into the physical spaces and care practices of their clinics.
