EDUC 3003 - Mathematical Knowledge for Teaching Number and Operations

3 hours

Prerequisites:

with a grade of “C-” or better.
This course is designed to provide the knowledge, skills and professional dispositions for candidates to establish mathematical foundations for students by focusing on the development of conceptual understanding of math content in grades P-8. Candidates will consider important elements of their own knowledge for teaching and developing students’ conceptual understanding effectively including organizing for instruction, various teaching techniques and strategies, and appropriate assessment practices. In exploring what it means to know and do mathematics, candidates will apply underlying principles of key concepts typically learned in grades P-8 such as counting, number and operations, ratio, probability and measurement.
