EDU 480 Methods of Teaching Mathematics

This course provides candidates an in-depth focus on the subject matter, content standards, mathematical pedagogy, and issues related to the learning and teaching of mathematics in early childhood primary (K-2) and elementary (1-6) grades. Candidates develop strategies and applications specific to the mathematical learning needs of students including real world connections. Through the Adaptive Cycles of Teaching (ACT), an experiential-based curriculum designed to help teachers learn a set of core teaching practices supported by intensive coaching, teacher candidates will complete a content learning analysis, diagnostic assessment as well as plan and implement teaching math with problem solving lessons. Thirty field hours are required in a setting where mathematics is being taught. This is an advanced standing course that may count toward both undergraduate and graduate degrees.
