Question

Mathematics experiences should be based on themes that naturally occur from the

A. early childhood curriculum.
B. teacher's lesson plans.
C. children's own interests.
D. surrounding environment.

my answer b

Answer 1

A better answer would be "C" if you can capture the child's interest you can teach them anything. That is why at teachers college they tell you to make sure your lessons contain a "hook" to excite them about their learning. Say for instance you are going to talk about counting past 10, and the world series of baseball is in one of the final games. If you start the lesson by saying "WOW... did you see those BLUE JAYS play last night? How many runs do you think the YANKEES scored on them?" Right away the students in the room (who like baseball) are counting faster then you can blink : )
