This course builds teacher knowledge about the ways in which students construct essential mathematical understanding of numbers and additive reasoning. Teachers will focus on the development of early numeracy and its essential components, the structure of our base-ten system, and the importance of using mathematical models. Teachers will review effective instructional and assessment approaches that address the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics (CCSS-M) for students in grades K-2. While a deep understanding of foundational numeracy concepts and additive reasoning is of critical importance for PreK-2 classroom teachers, this course is equally helpful to interventionists, special educators, math specialists and coaches, and administrators.
