| EDUC 374 - Early Childhood Curriculum: Mathematics and Science with Field Study III |
|
Prepares preservice teachers to plan and implement appropriate mathematical experiences for children ages 3-9, including those with special needs. Teaching strategies are consistent with the current mathematics education reform movement. A major focus is learning how to help children construct their own understanding of mathematics through problem solving with manipulative materials and technology. The science component provides an opportunity to present and critique inquiry-based lessons based on a variety of topics from the life, physical and earth sciences. Students examine laboratory materials, experiments, and technology designed for young learners. The integration of mathematics and science with other disciplines is emphasized through the development of an interdisciplinary teaching unit. Note: Meets for 5 hours. A kindergarten-grade 2 placement one day per week is required.
