STEM/STEAM: Math for the Young Child

Catalog description

This course reviews developmental theory and research about mathematical education in the early childhood years. Early childhood educators will investigate the interrelationship of math concepts in cooperation with STEAM education, and explore an organized, sequential approach to creating a developmentally appropriate math curriculum for young children that incorporates the use of digital technologies. Educators will gain experience using digital tools appropriately with young learning to promote alternative modes of assessment, individualized learning, and enhance digital citizenship. Concepts of God as the creator and master designer will be presented as students construct knowledge through a dynamic, interactive process that facilitates their development of working theories relating to mathematics and STEAM education.
