Wilma T. Hashimoto is also a member of the AIMS Early Math Team and joins Chris in the studio. She talks of her journey to become a researcher of early learning, her many years of working on behalf of young children, and some of the active research she is involved in. For Wilma learning through play is a strong focus, which she finds supported in the research she is reading with her team. She relates a story about a game, “Frog Splash” wherein she describes learning events occurring even while the children involved are not expecting to be learning.
