This course examines teaching and learning in mathematics and science in early childhood (birth through age eight). Students learn how children construct knowledge and develop logical thinking in mathematics and science, with emphasis on creating developmentally appropriate curriculum integrating these experiences with children’s developing language and literacy skills. Students utilize the NCTM (National Council of Teachers of Mathematics) Standards, New Jersey Core Curriculum Standards to explore socio-linguistic and constructivist ways of enriching children’s match and science experiences in settings from preschool through grade three.
