Overview
Howard/Charlesworth's MATH AND SCIENCE FOR YOUNG CHILDREN, 9th EDITION, introduces readers to engaging math and science experiences for early childhood and early elementary education programs. It provides an organized, sequential approach to creating a developmentally appropriate STEM curriculum and the content aligns with key guidelines and standards, including The National Association for the Education of Young Children's (NAEYC) Professional Standards and Competencies (2020); Developmentally Appropriate Practice (DAP) guidelines (2021); Common Core Mathematics Standards; and Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS). This edition also addresses STEM/STEAM and the essential domains of child growth and development during the crucial birth-through-eight age range. A valuable resource for the student/future teacher, working professional or involved parent, this edition emphasizes the interrelatedness of STEM content and how the content can be integrated into all other curriculum areas.
- Increased emphasis on problem-solving, discourse and hands-on activities that are relevant to a child’s experience and environment as the basis for concept and skill development. Significant updates to research and resources also reflect current practice for specific STEM content as well as overall child development.
- Technology for Young Children boxed features address the role that digital technology tools are playing in children's education and have been updated to reflect the rapidly evolving content available for the application of digital technology in learning environments.
- Sections that address Support for English Language Learners and Cultural Diversity have been separated out from “Special Needs” sections to reflect that ELL status is actually a cultural context that offers benefits for all children in a classroom. Each section suggests strategies for insuring that activities, experiences, environments and instruction are inclusive of all children from varied backgrounds and cultural contexts.
- The content has been rearranged and enhanced to elevate science, technology and engineering to a more equal representation with math in the text. Content has been redesigned for better readability, with fewer visual interruptions of text. STEM experiences have been integrated into other curriculum areas so that the title can be used in integrated or separate math and science methods courses.
- An appendix has been added that gathers all the examples of integration across domains and content areas in one convenient location.
- Assessment and instructional tasks are presented in developmental sequence, with adaptations throughout, for students with special needs.
- Learning Objectives at the beginning of each chapter correlate with main headings within the chapter and with the end-of-chapter summaries. The objectives focus students' reading and show them what they should know, understand and be able to demonstrate or apply after completing the chapter.
- Improved integration of early childhood and primary grades professional standards helps students make connections between what they learn in the text and the standards. A complete list of the standards addressed in the book appears in a chart on the inside covers.
- TeachSource Videos present footage from the classroom to help students relate key chapter content to real-life scenarios. The videos are introduced in the text, accompanied by critical-thinking questions that provide opportunities for in-class or online discussion and reflection.
