EEC 3212 Math and Technology with Young Children (3)

This course is based on the cognitive-constructive view of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics standards that include: using mathematics for problem solving, communication, and reasoning, recognizing mathematical connections, and teaching concepts of geometry, measurement, fractions, patterns and computation. In addition, students will be exposed to the use of technology in the classroom. Students will gain an understanding of how the development of cognitive skills in children age three through eight can be enhanced through effective program planning, implementation, and assessment in natural or formal settings. Students also apply information learned through practical field experiences in settings with children ages 3-8.
