Course Goals
Develop the mathematics appropriate
for elementary and middle school teachers using discussion, labs, lecture,
small groups, discovery learning, technology and elementary classroom aids.
This is a mathematics course, and students are expected to learn terminology,
definitions, and concepts. Topics covered will be approached from
both a practical and theoretical standpoint, with an emphasis on understanding
using concrete examples. The two primary foci of the course are for
students to: 1) improve mathematical reasoning by exploring new ways of
thinking mathematically and developing mathematical judgment, and 2) learn
to use technology effectively to learn and teach mathematics.
