Topic 5 Page 1

Math is a concept that is all around us all of the time. Young children are immersed in mathematical experiences almost constantly, whether it is in simple or complex forms. Patterns, shapes, measurement, numbers and classifying are all important mathematical concepts for young children to explore. This topic intends to educate the participants about the relationship that young children have with math as well as options for supporting early math education. This course also includes discussions with fellow educators and caregivers, lesson plan examples and the opportunity to create a math lesson plan for infants, toddlers and preschoolers.
