Arithmetic

Arithmetic is an essential subject for young children to develop their mathematical skills. In our nursery teacher training program, teachers will learn how to introduce basic arithmetic concepts to children in a fun and engaging way. Some of the key areas covered in the arithmetic curriculum include counting, number recognition, simple addition and subtraction, and shape recognition.

Teachers will also learn the importance of using concrete materials, such as blocks or counters, to help children visualize and understand mathematical concepts. By incorporating hands-on activities and games into their lessons, teachers can make arithmetic more accessible and enjoyable for young learners.

In addition to teaching specific mathematical concepts, teachers will also learn how to assess children’s understanding and progress in arithmetic. This may involve using informal methods, such as observing children as they play or engage in activities, as well as more formal methods, such as quizzes or assessments.

Overall, the arithmetic curriculum in the nursery teacher training program aims to equip teachers with the knowledge and skills they need to effectively introduce mathematical concepts to young children and lay the foundation for future learning in mathematics.
