My Students

A new report from the National Research Council to Congress urges parents and teachers to help preschoolers learn more math. In preschools today, math is too often ignored. It’s fair to say the attention is almost entirely on reading and literacy, without recognizing the importance of math.

I teach a very special group of young preschoolers with exceptional needs.

Teaching in a special education classroom can be quite challenging as educators are expected to address the individualized education programs of each student; however, one thing that all my preschoolers have in common is their enthusiasm to learn and interact with learning materials.

My Project

Just as preschool teachers cultivate literacy in children, they must be effective in using multiple opportunities during the day to help children build competence in math. National standards in mathematics (NCTM, 2000) describe what children should learn in preschool. The key components of math include: - number concepts - patterns and relationships -geometry and spatial sense - measurement - data collection, organization and representation With the purchase of supplemental math materials which would be used during our small group work and play centers, my students will have the chance to interact with materials as an everyday experience in the classroom. These type of experiences provide the context for my dear preschoolers to progress in math. In addition, as an educator, I can lay a solid foundation in understanding math content that will promote and extend my students' mathematical thinking.

My students who will be entering kindergarten next year need to be “ready” in math as well as reading, and research — and my experience watching my own preschoolers — shows that preschoolers are as curious and interested in numbers and counting and measuring as they are with everything else.

When my preschoolers can count how many rocks they collect, measure their feet, compare the size of two leaves, and discuss whether ladybugs are shaped more like circles or ovals; it sounds like success!
