Need a great book to read to your students? Try

A Tree for All SeasonsBy Robin Bernard

MAJOR CHANGE! You do NOT, I repeat do NOT need to

write out and submit the key terms and review questions listed in the following slides. I do, however, want you to read through them and make sure you can answer them.

Applications of Fundamental Concepts in Preprimary Science.

The title is practically as long as the unit!

Unit 21

Essentially, we are taking the mathematical ideas developed earlier and applying them to examples in science.

Essentially, we are taking the mathematical ideas developed earlier and applying them to examples in science.

Specifically: comparing, ordering and patterning.

Unit 21

After reading through the unit, make sure you can give a thorough and concise definition for the ‘key terms’ listed at the end of the unit (yes, all three of them that you already know! ). Respond to the ‘Review’ points A, B and C.

Unit 21

Integrating the Curriculum Through Dramatic Play and Thematic Units and Projects.

Unit 22

Integrating the Curriculum Through Dramatic Play and Thematic Units and Projects.

And you thought the title for unit 21 was long!

Unit 22

The goal of unit 22 is to help you integrate math and science into activities you are already doing with your students.

Unit 22

Many of our folk lore stories can be acted out by children, focusing on the math/science skills in it. (counting, patterning, seriation, etc).
