In this episode we sit down with Judith Fábrega, an early childhood educator and professor at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. Judith shares her unique journey from being a high-level math student encouraged to "aim higher" than teaching, to finding her true passion in bridging the gap between rigorous mathematics and the wonder of early childhood.
Judith dives deep into the importance of play, the myth that early years math is "simple," and how we can prevent math anxiety before it even starts. Whether you are a teacher, a parent, or a researcher, Judith’s perspective on trusting children’s natural curiosity will change the way you look at a eary childhood classroom.
