MATH 0609 - Seminar in Mathematics for the Elementary School

Credits: 3

Designed to acquaint the elementary teacher with recent fundamental changes in the study of elementary mathematics and their implications for the elementary mathematics curriculum. Emphasis will be 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) upon the curriculum. The development of basic number, spatial and geometric concepts in children is discussed within the context of these documents. Instructional activities stress analytic and critical thinking, inferential reasoning, intuitive logic, and the inductive and deductive processes as they relate to mathematical problem-solving.

Prerequisites: Elementary School Certification or permission of instructor.
