| Syllabus: | The focus of this unit is on making connections between what young children know about mathematics, what children need to know and the role of the educator in developing children’s mathematical understanding. This includes identification of children’s knowledge and developing and using assessment and intervention strategies. The unit is an introduction to social constructivist learning of mathematics and social cultural theory of learning and their application to early childhood learning environments. The unit develops educator knowledge of mathematics content areas; number, algebra, geometry, measurement and statistics and probability. There is a strong emphasis on integrating mathematics into everyday teaching. |
