MATH 0689 - Seminar in Mathematics for the Secondary School
Credits: 3
Designed to acquaint the secondary school teacher with recent fundamental changes in the study of secondary 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 secondary school mathematics curriculum. In addition to the traditional curriculum of algebra, geometry, trigonometry and functions, the inclusion of topics in statistics, probability, and discrete mathematics is explored. Other topics may include the concept of core curriculum, the integration of geometry and algebra, the use of graphing technology, and mathematical problem-solving, communications, and reasoning.
Prerequisites: Certification in secondary school mathematics or permission of instructor. (Secondary Mathematics)
