This course provides an opportunity for candidates and practicing teachers to develop an understanding of and concepts as they occur in a comprehensive elementary (and middle school) mathematics curriculum. By developing reasoning and problem solving in the areas of number and operations, algebra, geometry, measurement, and data analysis candidates and practicing teachers will help their students succeed in mathematics. This is an advanced standing course that may count toward both, baccalaureate and master’s degrees. Pre-requisite(s): None. Co-requisite(s): None. 5 quarter hours

This course provides an opportunity for candidates and practicing teachers to develop an understanding of strategies and concepts as they occur in a comprehensive elementary (and middle school) mathematics curriculum. By developing reasoning and problem solving in the areas of number and operations, algebra, geometry, measurement, and data analysis candidates and practicing teachers will help their students succeed in mathematics. Pre-requisite(s): Admission to the M.A.T. program or consent of M.A.T. program director. Co-requisite(s): None. 3 semester hours

This course is intended for students preparing to become certified teachers. It addresses pedagogy, materials and instructional issues related to the learning and teaching of mathematics in elementary school. It is designed to help participants develop knowledge, skills and beliefs (based on National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) set of core beliefs) that will enhance candidates’ ability to teach mathematics to children. Prerequisite(s): Admission to the Elementary Education M.A.T. program or consent of M.A.T. program director, ELE 500, EPS 511, six hours of appropriate college mathematics (college algebra level and above), approved by transcript review. Co-requisite(s): None. 2 semester hours
