Mathematics 156fMakingMeaning - for Operations/Reasoning Algebraically about Operations

Institution:

Mount Holyoke College

Subject:

Description:

(Same as Education256) This course will draw on two modules of the Developing Mathematical Ideas (DMI) series. DMI is a curriculum designed to help think through the major ideas of K-8 mathematics and examine how children develop those ideas. The first four sessions will parallel the first four sessions of Making Meaning for Operations. The remaining nine sessions will be based on the Reasoning Algebraically about Operations module. This module focuses on how children's study of operations leads into articulation of generalizations in the number system and justification of such generalizations. Participants will explore and understand how such work in the early grades relates to algebra studied in later grades. Does not meet a distribution requirement J. Bodner Lester Prereq.
