EDU 5641 Montessori E-I Geometry Curriculum I

This course is Part I of an introduction to the Montessori methodology for elementary classrooms, specifically focused on mathematics—geometry. This course addresses basic foundations of geometry including the fundamental concepts. Philosophical underpinnings will illuminate how elementary children develop their mathematical minds—the ability to measure and abstract, to reason, to make comparisons and draw conclusions, to think logically and be exact. This course takes place in a clinical lab and hands-on practice with materials is required. Prerequisites: EDU 5603 and EDU 5613 or permission of the program director
