Purpose
  • To review Guiding Principles that promote
    mathematical development in preschool
  • To discuss your role in providing appropriate
    instruction
  • To provide suggested alternative activities for
    Small Group Instruction

14
What do we know about young childrens
mathematical development?
  • Children learn in a variety of ways
  • Children develop an understanding of concepts
    through experiences with real things rather than
    symbols.
  • Teachers can support the development of
    understanding by presenting planned and focused
    experiences and by interacting with children as
    they work and play.
  • For children to be engaged by a particular
    mathematical task, they need to be on the edge of
    their understanding or level of competence.
  • When working independently, children should be
    allowed to choose from a group of related tasks.
  • The most powerful learning experiences have value
    in being repeated.

15
What kinds of mathematical experiences should we
be offering in Pre-K?
  • Number experiences
  • Spatial experiences
  • Sorting and classifying experiences
  • Pattern experiences
  • Measuring experiences
  • Data collection experiences
  • Experiences to learn geometry concepts


16
What is the teachers role in providing
appropriate math instruction?
  • Create a classroom environment that promotes math
    development.
  • Know your children and intentionally plan
    activities to meet their needs.
  • Interact with children in ways that model
    thinking, problem-solving approaches, and develop
    language.

17
Why are some of the math Small Groups changing?
18
Pattern Movement
  • Rhythmic pattern is one of the simplest and most
    effective ways to introduce your children to the
    concept of pattern.

Math Replacement Activities for O.W.L. Small
Groups
  • Days 4, 5, 6 of the first 12 days
  • Unit 1
  • Unit 2
  • Unit 3
  • Unit 4
  • Unit 5
  • Unit 6
  • Adapt activities to meet the needs of your
    students. Some activities will last 25 minutes
    and others will last only 3 minutes. You will
    need to plan and have materials ready for a 25
    minute small group session.
