CIEE 329 - Mathematics Methods and Assessment for Teaching K

Institution:

William Paterson University of New Jersey

Subject:

Description:

The purpose of this course is to develop pre-service teachers' competence in planning, conducting, and assessing mathematics learning experiences with children from kindergarten through fifth grade. The course makes extensive use of direct observation and video lab experiences of diverse children, in addition to relevant readings, to enable teachers to interpret children's mathematical behavior in meaningful ways. It considers mathematical thinking as part of a developmental process and explores the origins of elementary students' mathematical ideas in preschool and natural as well as formal school settings. The content of the course follows the recommendations for mathematics standards in the New Jersey Core Curriculum Content Standards for Mathematics (NJCCCS, 2004), principles and standards for school mathematics developed by the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM, 2000, NCTM, 2002), and reflects performance expectations for K-5 students on statewide and other standardized assessments. This course is part of the practicum semester package and is coordinated with a field experience in which students apply their learning in a K-5 classroom. Prerequisites: CIEE 229; completion of two, approved, General Education mathematics courses; co-requisites: CIEE 301, CIEE 322, CIEE 323, CIEE 326 2 credits
