Algebraic Structures for Teachers

Catalog description

The National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) explains in its Principles and Standards (2000) that algebraic reasoning is a important part of mathematical study. This course is designed to prepare the teachers to create learning environments conducive to meeting the national and state standards regarding algebraic reasoning. Topics include understanding patterns, relations, functions; representing and analyzing mathematical situations and structures using algebraic symbols; using mathematical models to represent and understand quantitative relationships; and analyzing change in various contexts.
