tools to facilitate and showcase learning and competencies to effectively embed positive
dispositions towards numeracy to young children in 21st-century classrooms. Preservice
teachers will develop and demonstrate an understanding of a range of pedagogies and
assessment practices that are informed by research and support contemporary approaches
