I Love When We Count
Math is Everywhere
Families are important in helping children build math and numeracy skills. I Love When We Count emphasizes learning as a part of a child’s everyday world and helps parents integrate and highlight math activities in daily life. I Love When We Count is a DVD for families with children ages 0-7.
How You Can Be Involved
Literacy organizations, schools and libraries buy I Love When We Count at low prices, in bulk, to give to families for free. Larger orders can carry your organization or school’s logo. I Love When We Count can also be used in parent workshops or incorporated as part of your parent-resource library. This DVD supports families in numeracy while supporting you; teachers, early-learning leaders and librarians in the important work that you do.
Parents and Grandparents
I Love When We Count is a really nice way to share best practices.

Numeracy is Literacy: Give the Gift of Literacy
We work with Rotary Clubs to help spread literacy in their communities. So far 1000 DVD’s have been given for free to families through clubs in District 5020 and District 5040. This Rotary initiative is like the dictionary project where ia club buys in DVD’s in bulk to gift to community groups or school children. The Rotary version of this DVD includes former International President of Rotary International, Wilf Wilkinson. Information about the program can also be found here: http://www.rotary5020.org/literacy/i-love-when-we-count.php
People don’t often think of numeracy and literacy together, we have artificially separated numeracy and literacy in school but truly numeracy is literacy.
