Description

The course focuses on the mathematical content taught in PreK-4 curricula and will include an analysis of research-based methodologies and teaching strategies. An emphasis will be placed on communication and math as well as relating math to the real world while using a variety of math skills and tools to solve problems. Students will discuss key mathematical con-cepts and evaluate textbooks, materials, and other relevant documents. Utilizing an inquiry-based, child-centered focus, students will be actively involved in utilizing a wide variety of manipulative materials and representations that can be ap-plied to teaching mathematics to diverse PreK-4 learners. Use of state and professional standards and competencies are used to support planning lessons, units and projects. (New Course Fall 2014).
