About this Course
This course introduces educators to effective strategies for teaching mathematics through discovery learning and play-based experiences. Participants will explore how children develop mathematical understanding by actively engaging in problem-solving, inquiry, and hands-on exploration. Through group activities, games, real-world applications, manipulatives, and teacher-guided learning scenarios, students will learn how to foster curiosity, critical thinking, and confidence in young learners. A key focus of the course is redefining the teacher’s role from direct instructor to learning facilitator. Participants will examine techniques that encourage children to take ownership of their mathematical learning, construct their own understanding of concepts, and develop creative solutions to authentic problems. Emphasis is placed on creating supportive, engaging environments where exploration, experimentation, and play serve as foundations for meaningful mathematical discovery. 🌟 IMPORTANT INFORMATION 🌟 ✔️ Washington State Nexport courses are not approved in Washington state to meet annual STARS training requirements.
