Description
This course is designed for strengthening the mathematical background of elementary and middle level teachers with special attention to those concepts necessary to successfully teach in a K-8 classroom. This course will emphasize mathematical problem solving and critical thinking. The course focuses on NCTM standards of number sense operations and algebraic thinking with topics including study in sets, whole numbers, functions, numeration systems, number theory and representation of integers. This is not a methods course; it is a course in mathematics content. Prerequisite: C or better in MATH 111 or 112 (or MATH 230 or higher level math course) or approval of Head of the Education Department. (Education majors/minors only). (Offered Spring)
