ED 242 - Numerical and Manipulative Math for Early and Special Learners

Institution:

Saint Vincent College

Subject:

Description:

This course will provide pre-service teachers current trends, techniques, technologies, and research about mathematical teaching in the special, early elementary, and inclusive settings. Classroom strategies, hands-on numerical techniques and communication, and the use of manipulative tools will be discussed and presented. Through a combination of readings, student research, in-class activities, microteaching and practical experience along with presented curricula enriched by the Fred Rogers archive, students will gain the skills necessary to perpetuate classroom enthusiasm toward mathematics. During much of the in-class time, the students will participate in or present elementary mathematics lessons which parallel the types of lessons and strategies currently being promoted by the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) and other organizations that are interested in quality mathematics instruction at the early elementary level. Tubercular check, Act 151 and Act 34 clearances, must be obtained before beginning of class. Two Credits.
