MATH 0659 - Seminar in Mathematics for the Middle School

Credits: 3

Designed to acquaint the middle school teacher with recent fundamental changes in the study of middle school mathematics. Emphasis is placed upon the impact of the “Massachusetts Curriculum Frameworks for Mathematics” (1995) and the “Curriculum and Evaluation Standards for School Mathematics”, (National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, 1989) on the middle school mathematics curriculum. Instructional activities stress analytic and critical thinking, inferential reasoning, intuitive logic, and the inductive and deductive processes as they relate to mathematical problem-solving. Mathematical topics may include number properties and relations, spatial and geometric concepts, measurement, discrete probability, and inferential statistics.

Prerequisites: Certification in middle school mathematics of permission of instructor
