Investigating Mathematics Learning in the Elementary School

Catalog description

This course provides the conceptual framework for exploring EC-6 mathematics integrated with engineering for deeper understanding, connections, and communication. Formal and informal geometry and measurement concepts and skills will be developed through problem-solving scenarios in collaborative groups. Manipulatives and technology will support the problem-solving approach.  This course is designed to emphasize in-depth basic understandings of geometry and measurement, which is a core idea in the EC-6 mathematics curriculum. Communicating concepts, processes or solutions effectively, in oral and written forms, will be emphasized.
