EDUC541  - Elementary School Mathematics

View Academic Calendar
 

This course explores mathematics in the elementary school setting. The class is approached from the following four sections: 1) Higher level mathematical content or educational theory; 2) Math content practice or reflection on educational theories; 3) Connection between elementary math and the higher level content; and 4) Best practices for teaching mathematics at the elementary level. Throughout the course, candidates will be asked to make connections between higher level mathematics and how that relates to the depth and complexity of the content. Candidates will then explore those connections through creating practical methods to be used in a class setting. The use of instructional technology and resources as an enhancement to their understanding and teaching of math will also be explored.
