2. Teacher Reflection Informs Planning Discover how reflection can help teachers make modifications to the classroom environment and their own instructional strategies.
3. Planning for Intentional Teaching Opportunities Explore how to integrate mathematics throughout the early childhood classroom to create intentional teaching opportunities.

The first component of Mathematics in Early Childhood Education is a DVD, which includes clips showing preschool children engaged in activities and learning experiences related to mathematics.

The video also includes interviews with Arlitt teachers providing insight into the strategies they use in their interactions with the children as well as the choices they make in regard to materials and activities they implement in the classroom.

The second component is a CD-Rom with powerpoint presentations designed for instructors to use in concert with the video component in professional development training seminars.

The presentations and accompanying lecture notes provide a closer look at the theory and research presented in the video as well as detailed examples of classroom activities and directions for making materials that are featured in the video.

This rich multimedia training tool is a must for trainers, teachers and administrators interested in expanding their knowledge base for mathematics curriculum design and implementation in early childhood education settings.
