MT101ECB|S1 2023/24 Mathematics in EC 1
Mathematics comprises
five strands that are highly interconnected.
In this course, we will study two of these strands: numbers and
algebra. The content covered in this course will be
done to the 6th grade level. In order for the student
teachers to teach mathematics at the early childhood level they must know more
than they will be teaching and have a deeper understanding of the
material. This course is aimed at the
Grade 6 level, three grades above what they will be expected to teach. The course integrates important mathematical
ideas so that student teachers can see many connections and develop new
understanding and skills. The placement
of this course within the programme allows teachers to learn the content before
they learn how to teach.
