Elementary Mathematics

Catalog description

Mathematics in the United States has historically been a difficult field; it has not always taken children's developmental and learning needs into account. In this course, we support learners gaining knowledge needed to teach school-age children and increase competency in mathematics. A variety of materials and models are used to show connections to daily life, and different approaches to mathematics are investigated. Relevant children's literature, writing to learn, curricular literacy, and technology are also emphasized.
