Explores the history and theories of intelligence, from genetic and environmental influences and twin studies to Gardner's nine intelligences, highlighting linguistic-verbal, logical-mathematical, musical, visual-spatial, bodily-kinesthetic, intrapersonal, interpersonal, naturalistic, existential.
Explore numerical intelligence as mathematical ability and the four stages of mathematical development—innate abilities, specific math prerequisites, counting, and formal knowledge—starting around six years of age.
Explore innate mathematical abilities in infants, including subsidising, numerical expectations, and the A and S, with studies showing 2–3 dot discrimination and recognition of correct results for simple operations.
Identify how the stage of formal mathematical knowledge signals readiness for learning and how early counting predicts later math success. Emphasize math prerequisites and early preparation to support future competence.
Examine general prerequisites for early math, emphasizing memory processing and working memory per Baddeley’s model, including central executive, phonological loop, visuospatial sketchpad, and episodic buffer, and links to long-term memory.
The focus of this course is the psychological development of numerical intelligence.
This course will cover in depth the development of numerical intelligence in children from 0 to 6 years old. Together we will learn about children acquisition of numerical competence and about the mind stages of development of math. This course will give you a profound knowledge of the topic. It's suitable for you if you want to understand this matter deeply.
We will discuss the difference between specific learning disabilities (SLDs) and learning difficulties. I will explain you how mathematical difficulties are preventable and how to do it. We will learn about all the stages of the mathematical development, how to help kids to achieve their best numerical intelligence and we will see the link between mathematical competence and working memory. We will talk about many concepts, such as: subitizing, numerical expectations, Approximate Number System (ANS), counting skills, formal knowledge and math prerequisites.
You don't need any prerequisites to participate in this course, just an open mind and the willing to learn. This knowledge is really great to have if you have children in your life and you you want the best for them, so, whether you are a teacher, a parent, an educator just give this course a try. It's only an hour of you time but it will change your prospective.
