Exam 11: Math and Science and Play

A parent who has had older children in another early learning setting tells you that she expects you to provide her child with worksheets in order for him to learn mathematical skills. What will you say to her about this request? What evidence will you use to support your position?

Logical-mathematical knowledge is defined as:

Rote counting requires the child to:

Benjamin Bloom's taxonomy of higher order thinking is not an appropriate tool for early learning teachers to use when questioning children.

When children are exploring technology as a scientific process, a play-based learning experience could involve:

According to the theories of Piaget, children acquire knowledge through:

One-to-one correspondence refers to a:

When children investigate their world they can engage in the same scientific processes that scientists use. During the "predicting and hypothesizing" process, children would:

According to Miller and Almon (2009) which classic play materials are largely disappearing from children's play spaces?

The most appropriate way to include science in the early learning environment is:

Describe the steps of the scientific method and give an example of how an early learning teacher could integrate play and engagement within each scientific step using the environment, invitations, and play materials.

School-age children will be tested for their math skills in the formal school system so they do not need experience with real materials.

Piaget distinguished between how many types of knowledge?

For children to count rationally they need to demonstrate one-to-one correspondence.

The easiest positional words for children to learn are left and right.

The final step of the scientific method process is to help children communicate their discoveries through different ways, such as verbal discussions or drawing pictures.

Describe the stages of representation for children involving the following: concrete, semi-concrete, semi-abstract, and abstract as they relate to a graphing experience.

David Hawkins indicates that it was important for early learning teachers and teachers to:

Benjamin Bloom identified how many levels of high order thinking?

Which is considered an attribute for classification?
