This course will focus on the role of mathematics in the education of early childhood students, with emphasis on: the understanding of curriculum content; current trends in teaching; use of appropriate teaching materials; and planning for and evaluating instruction. Methods of instruction will be explored that enable prospective teachers to act as facilitators in the classroom and gain an understanding of how children learn mathematics. Candidates will learn techniques, including the integration of technology, for designing and implementing mathematics lessons that develop knowledge and skills in mathematical concepts, computations, reasoning, and problem solving.
