Description

In this course, students explore the structure of mathematics, sets and numbers, systems of numeration, problem-solving and skill development. The content of late elementary/middle school mathematics and the development of strategies for effec-tive teaching of mathematical concepts in 4-8 classrooms are emphasized. This course addresses the needs of middle level Mathematics Educations (grades 4-8) as guided by the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) and PA Core Academic Standards for Mathematics. Course topics include an examination of educational trends and the impact of tech-nology in mathematics instruction. Students will explore how to teach key mathematical concepts through a data-driven, standards-aligned system that includes appropriate assessments. (Formerly EDML-516).
