The Zone Proxima Consulting Group supports the company's focus on early childhood mathematics education. Zone Proxima addresses a current and common misconception that young children should not receive mathematics instruction. Instead, Zone Proxima Math trains adults to provide sound guided discovery of foundational mathematics. These adults learn to provide integrated and sequential challenges, challenges and manipulatives that embody targeted foundational mathematics. The young children they mentor construct sound, coherent, well-formed mental models of core mathematical principles, practices, and concepts.
Zone Proxima flexibly provides and designs Metaphorics-based training for educators working with early childhood in diverse environments. This call to action serves early elementary school teachers, presechool teachers, upper elementary school educators, Head Start teachers, teachers of parents of young children, parents of young children, parents who provide homeschool education, and early childhood caregivers at home-base and other daycare facilities.
This call to action recruits (a) adults who train to provide effective early childhood mathematics education, (b) those who might sponsor/fund trainings in populations lacking financial resources to pay for training, and (c) those who might propose, advise, and legislate Zone Proxima Math solutions for early childhood mathematics achievement.
