Description:

Teacher candidates acquire knowledge and strengthen understanding of the foundational mathematical concepts and skills (e.g., counting, sorting, patterning, comparing) found within the Ontario Full-Day Early Learning Kindergarten Program document.

Candidates develop the skills for designing and monitoring environments and classrooms that promote emergent numeracy.
