Montessori E-I Geometry Curriculum I

Catalog description

This course is Part I of an introduction to the Montessori methodology for elementary classrooms, specifically focused on mathematics—geometry. This course addresses basic foundations of geometry including the fundamental concepts. Philosophical underpinnings will illuminate how elementary children develop their mathematical minds—the ability to measure and abstract, to reason, to make comparisons and draw conclusions, to think logically and be exact. This course takes place in a clinical lab and hands-on practice with materials is required. Prerequisites: EDU 1100/EDU 1103 and EDU 1110/EDU 1113 or permission of the program director
