Description

In this course, students explore the structure of mathematics, sets and numbers,
systems of numeration, problem-solving and skill development. The content of
elementary school mathematics and the development of strategies for effective
teaching of mathematical concepts in K-6 classrooms are emphasized. Students
will examine the NCTM Curriculum and Evaluation Standards (1989) and
Professional Teaching Standards (1991) to evaluate curriculum requirements,
manipulatives, activities and computer software designed for the elementary
school classroom.
