Math Across the Curriculum

Math Across the Curriculum

Successful teachers understand how to help young children connect emerging numeracy skills to learning in other content areas so the children learn how math helps them understand and describe the world around them.

For this assignment, select a grade level pre-K, and develop three cross-curricular at-home activities that integrate math and reading. Each at-home activity should be developmentally appropriate, easy to do at home with family members, and engaging.

Write 150-250 words for each activity explaining to families how to complete the activity. Include the following for each activity:

  • A math and an English language arts standard for the selected grade level
  • Specific objectives
  • A written resource to help reinforce math and reading skills (books, poems, stories, etc.)
  • Instructions for completing the learning activity
  • Developmentally appropriate technology options for students with language learning needs
  • Summative activity for students to complete and return

In addition, write a 250-500 word reflection on the challenges and benefits of integrating reading and math. How will you apply this in your future professional practice?

Support your narrative with 2-3 resources.

While APA format is not required for the body of this assignment, solid academic writing is expected, and in-text citations and references should be presented using documentation guidelines, which can be found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center.

This assignment uses a rubric. Review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.

Standards are attached.
