ECED 370 Supporting Cognitive Development
Supporting Cognitive Development through Math and Science explores theories and strategies that support the early learning and cognitive development of children from age zero to eight. Students will design, implement and evaluate developmentally and individually appropriate lessons based on mathematical concepts such as estimation, geometry, numeration and whole-number operations; as well, students will design, implement and evaluate lessons that support each child's innate curiosity and each child's procedural and thinking skills for investigating the world, solving problems, and making decisions. Curriculum will be connected to national standards and state guidelines.
