This course is designed to help early childhood education majors learn about and develop methods for teaching mathematics and science in grades pre-K-2. Students will develop personal understandings and confidences in mathematics and science so that they will be able to design instruction for early childhood classrooms. In particular, students will learn the importance of problem solving and asking questions as core practices of doing mathematics and science for all children. Students in this course will have opportunities to identify worthwhile mathematics tasks and tools for enhancing discourse as well as examining the teacher's role and students' contributions in classroom discourse.
