Phil Rowlands

Lesson Designer

Phil Rowlands is a retired head teacher from Wales (UK) with 37 years’ experience in primary/elementary education. During his time working in the Rhondda Valley, Phil assumed responsibility for the Rhondda Christian Teachers Association. His passion for discovering new approaches to learning has taken him as far afield as New Zealand.

Math was one subject he noted children frequently found difficult. Determined to provide the best learning experience possible, he embarked on an exhaustive journey of research to discover the most effective, child-friendly approach to introducing and developing math concepts for young children. The result was Child’s Play Math, a program which utilizes Cuisenaire rods and is delivered via play, directed activities, open-ended tasks, and challenges. It is ideal for preschool and kindergarten children as well as those in grades 1 through 3.

The program has been warmly received by teachers, parents, and most importantly children. Phil is delighted that Child’s Play Math has now been made available on SchoolhouseTeachers.com in video format.
