Math Modeling for MS Teachers

Catalog description

Designed for students who will become middle school teachers, this course will explore mathematical topics in the context of building of building models to solve problems. The emphasis will be on using multiple representations to develop mathematical models that describe some phenomena and learning the mathematical techniques necessary for working with the model in order to effectively answer questions about the situation being modeled. Students will interpret results given the context of the model and develop their communication skills for explaining mathematics.
