MAED 503 - Patterns, Functions, And Algebraic Reasoning

Institution:

Virginia State University

Subject:

Description:

The course examines structures of familiar number systems to include basic algebraic operations, linear and quadratic equations, linear systems of equations and inequalities, algebraic and trigonometric functions in the context of modeling and various representations of functions (graphical, tabular, and symbolic) ina a problem-solving environment. Appropriate use of technology and manipulatives, NCTM-aligned teaching methodology, and multiple means of authentic assessment will be incorporated into this course that emphasized the equity principle and the connections and representations standards. Content delivery will include student investigations and hands-on activities. Introduction to the concepts of probability, random variables, estimation, hypothesis testing, regression, and analysis of variance with emphasis on application. Prerequisite: GEMA 113, Basic Mathematics II or MATH 121, College Algebra and Trigonometry II This course examines properties and relationships of polygons, transformational geometry, coordinate geometry, constructions, deductive & inductive reasoning, the process of measurement through geometric investigations, and an introduction to matrix Algebra, fractals and non-Euclidean geometries in a problem-solving environment. Appropriate use of technology and manipulatives, NCTM-aligned teaching methodology, and multiple means of authentic assessment will be incorporated into this course that emphasized the equity principle and the connections and representation standards. Content delivery will include student investigations and hands-on activities.
