This course focuses on research-based approaches to teaching mathematics to young children in early childhood and elementary grades. Teacher candidates plan and enact mathematics lessons in their field placements and reflect on their teaching. There is a strong emphasis on identifying and building on children's home, community, and mathematical strengths; on understanding the relationship between mathematics, children's lives, and real-world issues; and on supporting children in making sense of mathematical ideas through problem solving and discussion.
