Media, Muppets, and Math: Sesame Workshop’s Secret to Help Kids Learn Math
Join a Free Webinar on Wednesday, April 3, 2013
How do I get to Sesame Street? I want to learn math!
Imagine learning numbers, addition, subtraction, or fractions by watching a Muppets show! This is how the Sesame Workshop gets children around the world to learn and enjoy math. The Sesame concept may involve using rickshaws in rural Bangladesh to broadcast television shows or developing games and culturally appropriate Muppets in South Africa. Innovation has been at the center of the Sesame Workshop over the past 40 years – experimenting and succeeding with creative ways to engage children educationally.
Learn more about the Sesame Workshop by joining the Global Partnership for Education’s April webinar featuring Abby Bucuvalas, assistant director of global education at the Sesame Workshop. Abby will highlight examples of Sesame Workshop’s multimedia math content, including examples from the United States, Ghana, and Indonesia and show how these programs impact children’s numeracy learning.
