Please answer both questions 250 word min-
1.  Describe how technology can be misused or overused in the early childhood classroom. Does the belief also hold true for the use of math manipulatives? Conversely, how can teachers be mindful of those students who do not have access to technology or resources in their homes?
2.  Some teachers think learning centers require a level of creativity they do not believe they possess, or are too time-consuming to create and maintain. What is your stance on the preparation and time required to provide centers to early learners?

Managing Math Centers

Education homework help

/in /by
 Number sense is the building block foundation for all math comprehension. Using hands-on manipulatives and providing opportunities for students to discover math in learning centers are meaningful ways for students to practice number sense skills.
Part 1: Learning Centers
Select a grade level K-3 and at least three mathematics standards that are currently being addressed in your field experience classroom. Design three learning centers that teach the standards you selected. At least one learning center must be technology-based.
For each learning center, write a 150-200 word handout for the volunteer who will be facilitating each center’s numerical operations activity. In each description, include the following:

  • Purpose and learning objective aligned to the state standard
  • List of materials to be used and the purpose of each (including technology resources)
  • Directions for how to run the activity
  • Directions for an assessment to be administered at the end of the activity

Part 2: Research-Based Rationale
Write a 250-500 word rationale explaining your thinking behind the design of your learning centers. Discuss how your centers do the following:

  • Encourage students to understand, analyze, and apply standards-based math content through technology.
  • Promote positive relationships and supportive interactions that are developmentally, culturally, and linguistically appropriate.
  • Include strategies to teach and reinforce math concepts to young children.
  • Adapt to meet the needs of individual students.

Support your rationale with 2-3 scholarly resources.

Managing Math Centers

Education homework help

/in /by
Learning centers provide students the opportunity to explore math concepts in various ways helping them to make necessary connections. In early education settings, manipulatives help young students to interact with the math concepts. Technology can be a powerful tool to teach and reinforce skills and concepts.
For this assignment, interview one K-3 teacher about the use of manipulatives, technology, and centers in his or her classroom to reinforce math concepts. Include the following questions in the interview:

  • Which manipulatives, technology, and centers have you used most successfully to teach math to early learners?
  • Do you use manipulatives, technology, and centers with all students, or as part of a differentiation strategy? How do they meet the learning needs of typical and atypical learners?
  • How do you model the use of manipulatives, technology, and centers during instruction?
  • How do you manage behavior while manipulatives, technology, and centers are in use? Does classroom management change? If so, how?

After your interview, observe and assist your mentor teacher with instruction in your field experience classroom. Take note of any strategies used to engage, motivate, and differentiate for students.
Discuss, with your mentor teacher, creating your own learning centers for the class based on the state’s mathematics standards the class is currently working on. Arrange to implement your learning centers in your next clinical field experience.
In 250-500 words, summarize and reflect upon your observations and interview:

  • Explain how manipulatives, technology, and centers reinforce math concepts and allow for differentiation, including specific examples.
  • Describe strategies the teacher used to engage, motivate, and differentiate for students.
  • Reflect on how you can apply what you learned to your future teaching practice.

APA format is not required, but solid academic writing is expected.

Throughout this course, you have explored the various components that need to be put into place in order to build an anti-bias, inclusive learning community that promotes respect, dignity, and fairness regardless of differences. Now is the time apply what you have been learning since the very first course in this program. For this Application Assignment, you will put all of the pieces together to develop a detailed action plan for implementing an anti-bias curriculum in an early childhood setting.
Creating an environment that cultivates positive relationships and interactions, nurtures children’s confidence, and offers children opportunities to combat biases and misconceptions takes thoughtful consideration and preparation. Your action plan will be comprised of several crucial components. Read through each of the components listed below to become familiar with the various aspects of the assignment. As needed, return to the Learning Resources in the course (and/or prior courses) to reread, reflect, and further solidify your thinking. Then, develop your ideas and record your action plan in a Word document.
The Topic

  • Review the list below and choose one to be the focus of your action plan. Issues related to:
    • family structure
    • culture and language
    • economic class
    • race
    • gender
    • sexual orientation
    • varying abilities
  • Explain why you chose this particular topic as the focus of your plan.
  • What “ism” (or “isms”) are you addressing with this topic?
  • What misinformation, stereotypes, or fears might young children have about this topic?

The Setting

  • Write a short description of the type of early childhood program for which this anti-bias action plan will be prepared. Include the ages of children, number of children and staff, demographics of children and staff, ethnic groups, racial identities, economic class, languages spoken, gender, and varying abilities.

The Goal(s)

  • What are you hoping to teach through this plan? Describe your goals and expected outcomes.
  • In what ways will you address and contradict the stereotypes associated with the topic? Provide examples to demonstrate what you might say or do to combat specific stereotypes.

The Curriculum Plan

  • Describe at least two learning experiences that will help you reach the goals of your action plan.
  • Indicate at least two ideas you will incorporate into the visual/material environment to support your curriculum.
  • List at least two examples of titles of books, music, film, and/or other media that will support your curriculum.
  • Think about at least one “teachable moment” that you anticipate will occur and describe it in detail.

Other Considerations:

  • In what ways will you connect with and involve the families of the children in your setting?
  • From the list of varying abilities that you studied in Week 7, choose one. Then, state the accommodations you will make to your classroom, your own behaviors/interactions, and/or your curriculum, to best support learning for a child with this varying ability in the context of this action plan.

Assessment:

  • How will you assess whether or not you have met the goals? Explain how you will know that your action plan has been effective.

Submit your completed anti-bias action plan.
Assignment length: 3 pages minimum
