EDC-5630: Math Methods - Elementary/Early Childhood

This course explores the content and pedagogy of mathematics. It is based on the premise that everyone can learn, and that mathematics can be accessible and enjoyable if understanding is derived from experience and strong links are made between experience, abstract ideas and symbols. Beginning with a consideration of how young children learn mathematics, the course will focus on instructional methods for developing mathematical ideas over time. Using concrete materials, students will become actively involved with problems from a range of mathematical strands (number and operations, pattern, geometry, measurement, probability) to illustrate how children can explore mathematics through problem solving and inquiry. This course necessitates access to children for instructional and assessment practice.
