Description
Course Description:
Are you an educator, parent, or education student eager to understand how children and adolescents truly learn mathematics?
In this course, “How Adolescents and Children Learn Mathematics,” you'll explore the fascinating process of how young minds develop mathematical thinking. Rooted in research and educational psychology, this course offers practical insights into what works (and why) when teaching math across different age groups.
We’ll guide you through:
Key learning theories by Piaget, Vygotsky, and Bruner and how they apply to math education.
The developmental stages of cognitive growth and their impact on mathematical understanding.
Age-appropriate teaching strategies and real-world classroom examples.
The role of language, culture, and individual differences in shaping math learning.
How to create supportive, differentiated math environments for diverse learners.
Whether you’re teaching in a classroom, supporting your child at home, or preparing for a career in education, this course will empower you with the tools, frameworks, and confidence to make math meaningful and accessible for every learner.
Join us to uncover how children and adolescents build their math knowledge—and how you can help them succeed.
By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
1-Demonstrate a thorough understanding of the nature of mathematics and science and humanities
2-Demonstrate their understanding of constructivist theories of learning and human development as per Piaget and Vygotsky and their relation to science and math learning.
3-Recognize the different kinds of learners and their learning styles, and how to include them in planning and delivering the lesson.
Who this course is for:
- Current and Future Math Teachers Elementary, middle, and secondary math teachers seeking to deepen their understanding of how students think and learn math at different developmental stages.
- Student Teachers and Education Majors Pre-service teachers preparing for careers in teaching who want to build a strong foundation in child and adolescent cognitive development in mathematics.
