Platas receives grant to support work with DREME Network

Associate Professor of Child & Adolescent Development Linda M. Platas has received support for her work with the Development and Research in Early Math Education (DREME) Network. The DREME Network was created in 2014 to advance the field of early mathematics research and improve young children’s opportunities to develop math skills. The network focuses on math from birth through age eight years, with an emphasis on the preschool years. Network members and affiliates collaborate to conduct basic and applied research and develop innovative tools that address high-priority early math topics and inform and motivate other researchers, educators, policymakers and the public in the U.S. Platas works on three of the DREME projects: Teacher Education, Family Math, and Math +.
