Elementary Mathematics Development 2

Catalog description

Understanding of the research on elementary development of mathematics and its application in the classroom. Focus on how elementary students develop multiplicative reasoning from a foundation of additive reasoning, connections to geometric representations, and how multiplicative reasoning supports development of understanding of fractions, ratios, and rate—which leads to proportional reasoning. Course assignments require working with elementary students. Consent of Instructor required. Restricted to: Master of Arts in Education: Elementary Mathematics and Science majors.
