The course is designed to introduce the prospective elementary and early childhood teacher to an integrated approach to the teaching of mathematics and the sciences. An activity-based format will be used to create a learning environment that fosters and exploration of the processes of science and mathematics. Emphasis will be placed on the role and use of manipulative in encouraging the development of fundamental concepts in both disciplines. Topics include process skills, problems solving, cognitive development theory, inquiry-based instruction, conceptual change models, techniques for assessment, modeling, and geometry. Throughout the course, students will build and interdisciplinary mathematics and science unit that will be presented to the class at the end of the course.
