MATH 0551 - Foundations of Teaching Mathematics: Pre K-6 (Beginning Spring 2009)
Credits: 2
Designed to introduce the prospective early childhood, elementary, and special education school teacher to the teaching of mathematics. An activity-based format will be used to create a learning environment that fosters an exploration of the processes of mathematics. Emphasis will be placed on the role and use of manipulatives in a laboratory setting that encourages the development of fundamental concepts in mathematics. Topics may include: the inductive processes, measurement, graphing, cognitive development theory, the learning cycle, discussion of innovative projects, state and national frameworks, techniques for assessment, number and arithmetic operations, patterns, variables, modeling, and geometry. Three contact hours per week, including substantial laboratory/activity time.
Prerequisites: Mathematics and science courses required for early childhood, elementary, and special education licensure, or permission of instructor.
