| A Step to Math is a project in
the Beit Berl Teachers' College developing a database for kindergarten teachers and
those being trained as teachers in early childhood education. The database includes a
large number of activities for the development of mathematical thinking at early
childhood. The activities in the database enable the child to
experience the world around him through the multimplicity of his senses, to define
it, categorize and identify relationships which integrates the mathematical language.
The two dimensions for the classification of the activities include
academic skills (mathematical concepts and thinking) and on the other the cognitive
process through which we process the information (visual, aural and kinetic senses). Every
"cell" includes the activities appropriate to the unique conjuction that
characterizes that cell.
The activity cards include a description of the activity and additional
information need to work with the children (goals, level of the activity, helping devices,
number of participants, pre-requisites, vocabulary).
The project team will be delighted, during Netdays Europe, to answer
questions and discuss with colleagues and the general public, the best was for
Mathematical education at early childhood. |
