Prerequisites

It is highly recommended that the student have studied and use the knowledge of these subjects

- The mathematics curriculum in kindergarten.

- Practice math classroom Childhood Education

Objectives and Contextualisation

It is an optional subject in the fourth year is focused on a specific teaching. Taught when students have already done all the basic training and then race "Mathematics curriculum the child" and "The mathematical practice in the classroom Childhood Education." That is why the subject: Games and activities in math education child wants to deepen the knowledge of teaching mathematics in kindergarten and primary school.

This course focuses on practical knowledge of math curriculum nursery and primary school, but also will review different mathematical content of older ages. The dynamic classroom will be in workshop format where you live in first person which is the 'mathematical challenge', learning from open questions, cooperative work and aprenenttage from selected materials handling.

Competences

  • Consider classroom practical work to innovate and improve teaching.
  • Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the aims, curricular contents and criteria of evaluation of Infant Education
  • Design and regulate learning spaces in diverse contexts which attend to the particular issues of pupils regarding gender equality, equity and respect for human rights.
  • Develop strategies for autonomous learning.
  • Promote and facilitate early infant learning, from a global and integrative perspective of different cognitive, emotional, psychomotor and developmental dimensions.
  • Promoting experiences of initiation into information and communication technologies.
  • Understand mathematics as sociocultural knowledge.
  • Understand teaching strategies to develop numerical representations and spatial geometric and logical development notions,.
  • Understand the scientific, mathematical and technological bases of the curriculum at this stage as well as theories on the acquisition and development of the corresponding learning.
  • Work in teams and with teams (in the same field or interdisciplinary).

Learning Outcomes

  1. Apply key elements of the mathematics curriculum to a personal design.
  2. Be able to analyse a learning situation, assess its relevance and make innovative alternative proposals.
  3. Be able to design personal teaching situations based on the curriculum and theoretical guidelines and examples shown in the subject for the teaching and learning of mathematics in infant education.
  4. Be able to design, plan and execute a personal search.
  5. Be able to draw on best mathematical practices to create new and personal ones.
  6. Be able to identify mathematical aspects in everyday life and be able to potentiate them and share them with children to facilitate their learning.
  7. Be able to include attention to diversity, gender equality, equity and respect for human rights in one’s own design.
  8. Be able to organize both personal and group work to design and implement a joint project.
  9. Know about didactic situations and experiences that are created with a global and inclusive perspective of different cognitive, emotional, psychomotor and volitional dimensions.
  10. Understand learning and teaching theory as governed by the mathematics curriculum.
  11. Understand the diversity of educational situations designed around the mathematics curriculum.
  12. Understand the diversity of interdisciplinary teaching situations for teaching and learning of mathematics in kindergarten.
  13. Using technologies in the design of didactic proposals for teaching and learning mathematics in nursery school or the initial cycle of primary school.

Content

  1. Game and fun activity
  2. Early childhood games and his relationship with mathematics.
  3. Learning math through a workshop.
  4. Mathematical programming adapting to the group.
  5. Review of mathematical concepts from different blocks and different ages.
  6. Creativity and rigor in the design and implementation of a workshop session in the community.

Methodology

The methodology of this course is in a workshop format. You will learn 'doing'. Each session will focus on the manipulation of various teaching materials. Autonomous work, creativity and cooperative work will be promoted. Thou must reflect and also the most relevant record in writing of each session.

Assessment

There will be a part of a group and individual assessment. The individual is a newspaper each session plus extensions that students consider. The working group is to prepare and conduct a workshop session of play and fun activity. If it is not possible, it will be replaced by two workshops for children from 0 to 6 years old.

Class attendance is mandatory: students must attend all classes to be evaluated (maximum 20% contemplates incidents), otherwise it will be considered absent. Also considered absent the student who has not delivered all evaluation activities within the established deadlines. The results of each evaluation will be returned to students within a maximum period of three weeks after its release, and offered a date for review within 10 days following its publication.

To pass this course, the student must show, in the activities offered to them, a good general communicative competence, both orally and in writing and a good command of the language used in the guide that consists of teaching. If the subject of plagiarism is suspended.
The evaluation is continuous, you will have to deliver your dissertation on the last day of the course. The reevaluation will take place the first place the first week of July.
