Algebra and Geometry II

Catalog description

This course builds on the arithmetic, algebra, and geometry developed in prior courses. The first part of the course develops the subject of trigonometry from the perspective of the K-8 mathematics classroom. Topics include similar triangles, the trigonometric functions and their graphs, the number pi, and applications to measurement, wave motion, and problem solving. The second part of the course continues the study of algebra from the perspective ofK-8 mathematics. Topics include quadratic functions, parabolas, and related problem solving. Teachers will relate their learning to the K-8 classroom by examining the Ohio Mathematics Common Core Standards and Model Curriculum to identify the foundational concepts of Trigonometry. Also, teachers will develop effective content-based questioning techniques and explore the components of building successful mathematics lessons. Prerequisites: EDEL550 and EDEL551 and EDEL553 and EDEL554 and EDEL557 Restrictions: Must be enrolled in one of the following Levels: Graduate College of Health and Human Sciences School of Education
