| This course is divided into two segments. The first segment covers the fundamental core of effective teaching of mathematics and combines an understanding of how children learn, how to promote that learning by teaching through problem solving, and how to plan for and assess that learning on a daily basis. The second segment provides the application of the core ideas from the first section. Covers every major content area in the pre-K-8 mathematics curriculum. Ideas for incorporating children's literature, technology, and assessment are included. |
