About This Course

The objectives of the above workshop are to help participants:
Day 1
• Gain an overview of the scope and sequence of pre-school numeracy content and children's numeracy development and understand the rationale of Spiral Approach.
• Understand and apply the core ideas in the development of early childhood numeracy, including addressing common misconceptions in the teaching of numeracy concepts.
• Explore pre-mathematical (pre-counting) concepts and promote learning in areas such as classification, seriation (creating series and patterns), rote-counting, shape and spatial concepts.
• Understand and apply basic learning theories including the CPA (Concrete-Pictorial-Abstract) approach to plan and implement classroom lessons.
• Explore various counting strategies such as skip counting, counting on and counting backwards.

Day 2
• Understand the three situation types of addition and subtraction, and the use of ten-frames, part-part whole concepts and number bonds to teach addition and subtraction.
• Discover the use of children's literature, stories and games to teach the concepts of shapes, patterns, predictions and numbers.
• Understand the importance and the application of visualisation skills to promote thinking and learning for understanding among preschool children.
• Intentionally and systematically introduce mathematical experiences into the early childhood curriculum and the daily programme routine, embedding mathematical concepts in real, concrete and meaningful experiences.
• Design a lesson plan that incorporates the learning of mathematics numeracy concepts through games and activities using the NEL framework (N2 to K2).
• Appraise the suitability of the activity or games used in the lesson plan.

What You'll Learn

In this workshop, participants will learn essential pedagogies and effective teaching strategies that will help children develop their numeracy skills. Through the use of different teaching and learning techniques and resources, participants will discover how various numeracy concepts and contents are taught to enrich children's learning experiences, and to enhance their understanding and engagement in learning. Participants will study fundamental learning theories including Bruner's CPA approach and Spiral approach and put them into practice through case study discussions as well as to design a lesson to be implemented in their classrooms, of which they will reflect and share their practical experiences during the second session. Participants will also explore the use of useful teaching tools and resources, including ten frames, concrete objects and experiences, children's literature and stories, as well as meaningful games and activities to teach various numeracy contents.
