Discovery of Math
Tuition: $10.50
Description:
This lesson discusses math concepts and how to impart those concepts to children via discovery learning that allows young learners to explore methods of problem solving through group work, games, real live examples, manipulatives, and teacher provided scenarios. The primary goal is to allow children to play active roles in their education process while the teacher becomes an observer and uses children’s natural curiosity to facilitate discovery of mathematical concepts through play. This course familiarizes students with the use of discovery and play in math education. These methods allow children to explore math in a play setting while allowing them to generate their own solutions to mathematical problems posed by the child care provider.

- Thank you Posted by Nancy on 17th Mar 2015
I appreciated the concrete examples of how to use math concepts during everyday activities. I was very pleased to realize that I do some of these things everyday without thinking about it. Now I have a few more to add, thank you! - My favorite class so far and I don't even like math! Posted by Tiffani on 26th Jan 2015
This had a lot of valuable information! - I enjoyed this training course Posted by Brittany on 26th Sep 2014
I enjoyed this training course due to I for one do not like math. But making math fun for children through play helps children engage even more then usual becasue they are gaining the knowledge of grouping together, counting aloud, Identifying how many, learning geometry through play is so important for children to learn at a young age.
This opens a whole new wide of variety of ways to incorporate math in our everyday learning. This helped me understand and gain more ideas of ways to help children learn math in their everyday learning strategies.
