DREME is a network of scholars at twelve universities conducting research and developing resources to improve the development of early math skills in young children ages 0-8. I support the project by: designing research-based interventions for families and educators, translating academic research to practitioner audiences, building partnerships with community organizations and preschools to support early math initiatives, and working to conceptualize and create a family math website with the network members.
