As I continue to work toward my Early Childhood Studies (BA) at Ryerson University (https://www.ryerson.ca/programs/undergraduate/early-childhood-studies/), I had an amazing opportunity to take two summer intensive courses on campus. I am currently in my last year, and up to this point all the courses taken have been achieved through distance education. This summer, I had a wonderful opportunity to meet some of my peers and professors.
Concept Development in Math, taught by the fabulous Lovisa Fung, was one of the intensive courses I had the privilege of taking. This particular course really allowed students to gain knowledge into how young children understand and engage in math. I decided to direct one of my main assignments required for this course into finding out how educators and parents can support and ease math anxiety in young children. I choose this topic because I experienced math anxiety as a child, still do today, and I wanted to make sure I did my best to support my own children, as well as the children I work with.
Below is a powerpoint that shares all my learning on this topic!
