This course is designed to provide you with a solid foundation of the methodologies, pedagogy, and major content areas introduced in Kindergarten through fifth grade. Lower level teachers will leave with an appreciation of the importance of building a solid foundation in number sense and problem-solving and will experience how mastery of those foundational skills play out in the grades that follow. Upper level teachers will gain an understanding of how the foundational skills are taught at the lower levels, how to leverage that to engage students in thinking and communicating mathematically, and how to provide support for students who may have gaps in learning.
