Mathematics for Adolescent Education

Catalog description

This course will focus on the mathematical underpinnings of all levels of high school mathematics, grade 7 through Calculus II. The New York State Common Core Learning Standards for Mathematics, NCTM's Principles and Standards for School Mathematics and the College Boards scope and sequence for Calculus AB and BC will serve as a basis for the rigorous investigation of the mathematical theory and skills involved at each level. Appropriate use of the graphing calculator will be integrated into the course. Upon completion of this course, students will have a strong foundation in the content that is necessary to teach secondary mathematics and pass the New York State Mathematics Content Specialty Examination.
