Course Objectives The aim of this course is to maket he students learn different approaches related to development of mathematical thinking during pre-school period, basic teaching principles that need to be taken into consideration in preschool education to teach visual and mental mapping, and the basic concepts of mathematics that should be thought during preschool education (count, multiplicity, procedures with natural numbers, measurement and related concepts, basic geometric shapes, etc.), in addition to make activities to create activity samples by using this information.
Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • Will be able to define how to ensure mathematical development in children
  • Will be able to explain the characteristics of mathematics skills according to development and age periods.
  • Will be able to apply basic mathematical concepts
  • Will be able to explain the properties of mathematical operations suitable for preschool period
  • Will be able to explain the properties of space, geometry and geometric shapes to preschool children.
  • Will be able to prepare a mathematics activity plan for pre-school period.
Course Description This course contains the issues related to developing basic mathematical thinking skills and problem-solving skills in preschool students.
