Integrating Math and Science in Early Childhood Classrooms Through
Big Ideas offers teachers a way to think about the future classroom
and to meet the needs of children who come to into it with diverse
experience, knowledge, and abilities. "Change how we think about
math and science for young children," the authors say in their
Preface. "Instead of separating the disciplines, planning lessons
and topics and projects aimed at math OR science content, let's
look at the world the way the child does. Children think in terms
of big ideas." In this unique book, the authors focus on big
ideas-like patterns, transformation, movement, balance, and
relationships-as a way to think about content, and they integrate
science and mathematics through these big ideas, rather than
linking them topically. The book looks at why it is important to
think about thinking, introduces assessment early to help the
teacher plan for assessment before teaching even begins, and sets
up an environment that will support the construction of the big
ideas that integrate math and science. Real-life scenarios provide
invaluable insights into the teacher's thinking and planning, and
each chapter includes two modules to be used for in-depth
exploration of different aspects of the big ideas. It's a unique
exploration of thinking and learning.
