Subject:

Description:

Provides elementary education majors with experiences in becoming independent problem solvers while providing a solid foundation for teaching early mathematics. Topics include set theory, systems of numeration, number theory, properties of whole numbers, rational numbers, and real numbers, estimation, beginning geometry and measurement. Collaborative learning, discovery and refinement of presentation skills are stressed through in-class experiences. Traditional mathematical content is covered in the context of developing student competence with respect to the abilities outlined in the five process standards found in Principles and Standards for School Mathematics (National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, 2000): problem solving, reasoning and proof, communication, connections and representation. A student must be a declared elementary education major or have permission of the instructor to take this course.
