  1. RESEARCH ABOUT YOUNG CHILDREN • Young children engage in extensive mathematical activity during play. • Young children can learn far more then we expect with guidance. • Young children possess basic mathematical concepts, strategies, & skills. • Young children have difficulty expressing their thinking.

  2. CURRICULUM SHOULD • Draw on everyday mathematical interests. • Child-centered & developmentally appropriate. • Provides in-depth, systematic, & sequenced examination of core mathematical topics. • Integrates mathematics into other academic areas. • Stimulates playful but purposeful learning. • Provides practice & repetition.

  3. HOW CHILDREN GAIN FROM THIS TYPE LEARNING • • Learn to love math and enjoy themselves. • Learn to think and to become aware of their own thinking. • Increase vocabulary and expressive abilities. • Appreciate and understand books. • Exercise their intellectual curiosity.

  4. BENEFITS FOR TEACHERS • • Activities are enjoyable, challenging, and organized in a useful sequence. • Storybooks can be a key link to interesting mathematical content. • Gain new insights into mathematics content and children’s understandings of mathematics

  5. BIG IDEAS OF CURRICULUM • WHAT ARE NUMBERS? • counting • cardinality • ordinality • THE SHAPE OF THINGS • two- and three-dimensional shapes • symmetry

  6. BIG IDEAS OF CURRICULUM • PATTERNS • Patterns with numbers and shapes • MEASUREMENT • length & height • weight • capacity • temperature • time • money

  7. BIG IDEAS OF CURRICULUM • WORKING WITH NUMBERS • comparing numbers • operations with numbers • SPATIAL SENSE • positions • directions • map reading
