EDUC 448: Mathematics for Teachers of Young Children
This course covers math curriculum for children ages 3-8 based on the standards set by the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics and the Guidelines of the California State Department of Education. Students will explore their own phobia, and the role teachers play in creating math phobia. They will study math with the goal of improving their own math skills, and learn to challenge and excite children in the study of math. This class is 4 units and includes 15 hours of fieldwork (1 unit).
We will regularly be using BlackBoard in this class. You will use Dropbox to submit assignments. Sign up for Dropbox, install it on your computer, and save your assignments into the Dropbox folder. The weekly pages above match our weekly class discussions. Please email me with any questions.
