Teaching Mathematics Using Play Pedagogy: Materials in Study Centers

PROGRAMME OUTLINE

Educators will explore the use of different materials in different study centres. Educators will examine how the materials may differ and how the different centres serve the many aspects in the teaching of mathematics and numeracy in the early years. This course also covers some games educators can play with their students.

Educators will look at how different forms of Play can be used for the same lesson. At the end of this course, educators should be familiar with the different categories of Play and will be able to create alternative forms of Play lessons for different age groups or capabilities. Educators will also learn to critique and select websites that may be beneficial to reinforce students’ learning.
