MHE523 Perspectives on Exceptionality in Mathematics Learning

Perspectives on Exceptionality in Mathematics Learning is taught with an emphasis on assessing the mathematical knowledge of students and providing appropriate experiences to allow them to advance as far as possible. Accommodations for the entire range of special needs in students are explored to enable teachers to provide differentiated experiences. These skills are developed through problem solving involving expansions in both directions including gifted, so all children are challenged. This course includes opportunities to map conceptual units that define the product of learning in topics like rational numbers, basic operations, problem solving, algebraic thinking, etc. for the span of learning abilities. Prerequisite(s): Certified teacher or consent of instructor 3 semester hours
