Project Title: Math in Pre-k

A. Project Abstract: (Refer to the detailed information located in the proposal/letter of intent)
My project is going to require me to create multiple lesson plans in math and teach it to a classroom of young children. I am interested in this topic of teaching
because I want to see children progress and learn things they will need for the rest of their lives. An essential question for my product would be How or what am I
going to teach children? The ending product of my project will be a tri-board with pictures and examples of the lesson plans, my teaching portfolio, and the children
participating so i know they understand. It will take place at the school at which i choose to teach at and will happen in the course of next year. Both the children
and myself will benefit from this project. The audience of my lesson will be the children and my teachers grading the project will be the audience for my video.
Materials for this project will be the materials needed to fulfill all of the requirements of my lesson plan.

B. Learning Skills: (List 2-4 specific goals and how they will stretch you)
Goal/Skill How will you be stretched

Presentation/ organization skills Teaching me how to remain professional and organized throughout the lesson plan.

D. Project Justification:
This is an appropriate and quality project for me to do because it ties into early childhood and help me gain experience in that field. It will be challenging to get up in
front of the children and not mess up, but it will be a huge accomplishment when I see the children learning.
