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 teaching and learning of mathematics in early childhood (Pre-K – 2) and elementary (1 – 6) grades. Candidates will gain an understanding of student learning development within various mathematical domains, along with strategies to support the specific mathematical learning needs of students. 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 craft a lesson plan that meets the specific needs of learners in their field placement, which they will implement, record, and reflect upon. Thirty (30) field hours are required in a setting where mathematics is being taught.
