  1. Qnet: Early Mathematics October 13, 2011 Amy Carriere

  2. Patterns Problem Solving Counting Numbers Communication Data Analysis Reasoning Connections Measurement Planning Estimating Representation Space Matching Shape

  3. Session Objectives • Identify early math concepts and processes • Explain how infants and toddlers and Preschoolers acquire those concepts • Describe indicators of early math concepts for infants and toddlers and Preschoolers • Describe strategies for infusing early math concepts into daily routines, activities, and play for infants and toddlers and Preschoolers

  4. The development of mathematical thinking skills begins at birth It occurs in a very natural way through play, routines, and loving interactions with adults.

  5. Children are curious and want to know everything about their environment. • Babies explore the world using their senses. They look, touch, hear, smell, and taste everything!

  6. Math is Part of EVERY day Mathematics is a way of describing the world –a way of thinking, knowing, and problem-solving that is accessible to all children regardless of their prior knowledge and experiences

  7. Learning AboutMathematical Concepts • Numbers and Operations • Geometry/Spatial Sense • Measurement • Patterns (Algebra) • Data Analysis

  8. Learning AboutMathematical Processes • Problem Solving • Reasoning • Communication • Connections • Representation

  9. Activity • Use your resources in the bin, some manipulatives, some examples, and Wisconsin Model Early Learning Standards Book (pg 80-102) • Develop a Parent Friendly Definition of the Mathematical Concept and Process skill you have • Give some examples of what this looks like with infants, toddlers, and preschoolers • How could you sue some of these materials to promote this concept and process skill? • What other materials could you use? • What can an adult do/say/ask to promote this concept/skill?

  10. The Teaching Cycle

  11. Simple Ways to Assess • Parent Interviews • Self Portraits • Anecdotal Records • Scribbling Drawing Writing Samples • Participation Chart • Developmental Checklists • Audio or Video Tapes

  12. Homework for Next time… • Observation • Self assessment

  13. University Credit • Met up front for a moment • Sign up must be done today
