Description
In this course, teacher candidates will be introduced to approaches and experiences for observing and scaffolding Prekindergarten through Grade 3 children’s understanding in mathematics knowledge, concepts, and processes. Attending to the contexts of family, community, and school, teacher candidates will develop an understanding of classroom environments that support young children’s exploration of mathematics through invitations and provocations using intelligent materials and loose parts to promote creative and logical thinking. Using a constructivist approach, teacher candidates will gain facility with a variety of strategies to help students engage in the exploration of mathematics with deeper understanding. Attention will be given to First Nations, Métis, and Inuit perspectives and ways of knowing, and culturally responsive practices that integrate the out of school experiences of linguistically and culturally diverse children and families into classroom learning.
