ED 687 - Methods for Teaching Math

(3)
Mathematics is a major focus of the curriculum for the early childhood level. In Georgia, the student’s mathematical knowledge is tested by the state and remediation is required for children not meeting the criterion at specific grade levels. Because of the state and local testing programs in the areas of mathematics, teachers must be prepared to teach children whose math knowledge and background may be at all levels of mastery, and then, program for each of them. This course emphasizes developmental concepts of arithmetic and problem solving, with a focus on methods and materials for early childhood. Math methods, materials, content, and activities for the young child are included. A field experience component is included as part of the course. This course cannot be successfully completed without completion of the field experience.
