Early Counting and Connections

Catalog description

Early Counting and Connections for Young Children (1) This course focuses on the development of early number sense and counting ideas and concepts for young learners. Practitioners gain an understanding of the mathematical thinking of young children and utilize that thinking to support student success in early counting. They explore learning trajectories for number sense, counting, and cardinality in order to plan, and implement instructional routines that engage young learners. Teachers work to unpack early grades standards for number sense and plan engaging activities or tasks utilizing knowledge of culturally relevant mathematics practices. The course also focuses on the foundations of early counting practices in the human experience which foster the development of culturally relevant and responsive learning environments. Grading: A-F only. Restriction: Teaching (MAT) [City Teaching Alliance].
