joy. Deanna's book, Joyful Math, is about creating invitations for
young children to engage with math ideas through art, literacy, and
outdoor play. She focuses on building spaces in early childhood
classrooms where children see themselves as mathematical thinkers
with valuable ideas from the very start. Joyful Math is filled with
a range of tools and models, including: stories, vignettes, and
photos illustrating how to develop a classroom environment that
fosters curiosity and wonder for mathematics practical tips for
inviting students to engage in mathematical play throughout the day

risks, try different approaches, observe carefully, and collaborate
with children as co-learners.
