Modern Mathematics for Teachers ((4))

Catalog description

The goal of the course is to cultivate a deeper understanding of grades 6 - 12 mathematics. It is a mathematics content course that models teaching techniques that promote exploration, discussion and conceptual understanding through the use of computer-based technology and manipulatives that may include, but not be limited to, fraction bars, algebra tiles and Cuisenaire rods. Students will make presentations on mathematics appropriate in California's middle school and high school classrooms and that emphasize active learning and sense-making consistent with California's Common Core State Standards, Standards for Mathematical Practice, and Mathematics Framework.
