2011 Summer Institute - Track 3
Cultivating Math Thinking in Preschool Children
Cultivating Mathematical thinking in preschool children allows them to explore and understand the components of Mathematics; geometry and spatial awareness, numbers and operations, measurement, data collection and analysis, and patterns. In this course participants 1) become familiar with each of the components of Math, 2) develop an understanding of the five process skills of Mathematics and 3) learn how to intentionally and purposefully plan for children’s Mathematical learning; how they use the environment, materials, group activities and daily experiences and routines. Through a variety of teaching approaches participants will gain insights that will be of immediate, practical use in their preschool classrooms.
