WHAT IS THE MEANING OF “MATHEMATICS” FOR THE PROSPECTIVE PRESCHOOL TEACHERS?

Mathematics which is described as the abstracted form of the life is defined as analyzing all the possible patterns. Mathematics which processes information, infers results from them and which is a key for problem solving is a useful tool for people to understand the world and our environment. For t...
