Through MMSA’s Building Strong Foundations early numeracy initiative, more than 80 Maine PreK–2 educators gained new research-backed strategies that brought math to life through games, outdoor learning, math talk routines, and family engagement.
Free resources created through this initiative can be found on the Numeracy in Nature(opens in a new tab) site, featuring strategies, lessons, stories, and outdoor math activities ready to use in your classroom.
Resources Bank Examples:
- Geometry Slow Reveal with Sticks
- PreK Forrest Lesson

- Early Numeracy Activity Cards
Activities in Action Story Samples:
- Oak Leaves and Number Racks
- Dandelion Fields and 2nd Graders

Building Strong Foundations was funded by the Maine Department of Education’s Maine State Numeracy Action Plan(opens in a new tab).
